Digital geometry processing with discrete exterior calculus
Keenan Crane, Fernando Ferrari de Goes, Mathieu Desbrun, Peter Schröder · 2013
An introduction to geometry processing using discrete exterior calculus (DEC), which provides a simple, flexible, and efficient framework for building a unified geometry-processing platform. The course provides essential mathematical background as well as a large array of real-world examples. It also provides a short survey of the most relevant recent developments in digital geometry processing and discrete differential geometry. Compared to previous SIGGRAPH courses, this course focuses heavily on practical aspects of DEC, with an emphasis on implementation and applications.
