Multiresolution methods in geometric modelling are concerned with the generation, representation, and manipulation of geometric objects at several levels of detail. Applications include fast visualization and rendering as well as coding, compression, and digital transmission of 3D geometric objects.

This book marks the culmination of the four-year EU-funded research project, Multiresolution in Geometric Modelling (MINGLE). The book contains seven survey papers, providing a detailed overview of recent advances in the various fields within multiresolution modelling, and sixteen additional research papers. Each of the seven parts of the book starts with a survey paper, followed by the associated research papers in that area. All papers were originally presented at the MINGLE 2003 workshop held at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, UK, 9-11 September 2003.

All papers were originally presented at the MINGLE 2003 workshop held in Cambridge, UK, 9–11 September 2003. Over the course of the three day workshop there were thirty-one presentations covering the whole range of topics within the MINGLE project. From those presentations, this book contains twenty-three papers, one by an invited speaker and the rest by members of the project. All papers have been refereed by an international panel. Our thanks go to the authors and referees for their hard work, which has made this an excellent collection of recent work in the field. We would also like to thank Martin Peters, Ute McCrory, and Leonie Kunz at Springer-Verlag in Heidelberg and Peggy Glauch at Le-TEX in Leipzig for guiding this book from initial concept to finished product.
