About The Book
Isosurfaces: Geometry, Topology, and Algorithms is the first book exclusively devoted to isosurface construction, a critical technique in visualizing 3D volumetric data. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the mathematical aspects of isosurface algorithms, with a special focus on the Marching Cubes algorithm, its variants, and other methods such as dual contouring, multilinear interpolation, and more. Additionally, the book discusses advanced concepts such as isosurfaces in four dimensions and multiresolution extraction, as well as algorithms for faster isosurface extraction.

In full color, it offers a comprehensive guide for visualization software designers, researchers, and graduate students. The book’s approach makes it both a solid introduction for newcomers and a valuable reference for advanced researchers in the fields of computational geometry, computational topology, and geometric modeling.
