Virtuelle Fertigung: Endlich ein Buch, das sich mit diesem Thema vom Standpunkt des Anwenders aus beschäftigt! Prashant Banerjee, einer der bekanntesten Forscher auf diesem Gebiet, zeigt, wie sich Virtual Reality und webbasierte Produktion miteinander verknüpfen lassen. Neben Grundlagen und Algorithmen zur Implementation wird vor allem demonstriert, wie sich die Theorie in den Herstellungsprozess integrieren lässt.

This book presents recent findings relevant to the development of virtual manufacturing technology. In addition to workcell management, real-time exact collision detection, motion modeling, avatar modeling, and virtual-real environment interaction in training, the book also explores camera self-calibration, stereo vision, and other connections between VR and computer vision. The principles of computer graphics, virtual reality, depth extraction, and shape reduction are all presented, as are applications to virtual manufacturing. An eight- page color insert features screen shots of applications. Banerjee teaches mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Zetu is a research engineer.
