The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2005 took place in Vienna, Austria, from July 4-6, 2005. It is the 3rd event of this series, and followed the highly successful 1st Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing, which took place in 2003 in Aachen (Germany), and 2nd Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing, which took place in 2004 in Nice (France).
The goal of this meeting was to present and discuss new research ideas and results in Geometric Processing. In this emerging area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for the acquisition, manipulation, animation and transmission of complex 3D models.
Applications of geometry processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from multimedia and entertainment, to bio-medical computing, reverse engineering, and to classical computer-aided design.
The proceedings of the symposium were published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.
