Wavelets and their Applications in Computer Graphics

This book is intended to give the necessary mathematical background on wavelets, and explore the main applications, both current and potential, to computer graphics. The emphasis is put on the connection between wavelets and the tools and concepts which should be familiar to any skilled computer graphics person: Fourier techniques, pyramidal schemes, spline representations.

It focuses on a generalized theory that naturally accommodates the kinds of objects that commonly arise in computer graphics, including images, open curves, and surfaces of arbitrary topology.
