This book will present the latest research results in point-based
computer graphics. After an overview of the key issues, affordable 3D
scanning devices will be discussed and new concepts for the mathematical
representation of point-sampled shapes will be presented. Then the
authors will describe methods for high-performance and high-quality
rendering of point models, including advanced shading, anti-aliasing,
and transparency. The book will also present efficient data structures
for hierarchical rendering on modern graphics processors (GPUs). In
addition it will address methods for geometric processing, filtering and
resampling of point models. The last part of the book will be devoted to
Pointshop3D, open-source software for the design of new algorithms for
point-based graphics. Both editors have worked in computer graphics for
many years and have pioneered the field of point-based graphics. They
have published a large number of papers in journals and conferences on
this topic. They have founded the IEEE/EUROGRAPHICS annual Symposium on
Point-based Graphics, which was held this year for the second time. They
also taught numerous courses on the topic at international conferences,
including ACM SIGGRAPH and EUROGRAPHICS. The first book on a major
development in graphics by the pioneers in the field

• This technique allows 3D images to be manipulated as easily as
  Photoshop works with 2D images
