Connolly" Subject: Geometer The GE R&D center and (more recently) the vision group at UMass have been developing and using a solid modeler with some algebraic manipulation capabilities for various vision & automated reasoning experiments. The system is called "Geometer", and some of its salient features are: - Written in Common Lisp (runs on Symbolics, TI, Lucid, DEC) - Reliable at planar modeling - Capable of curved surface modeling - contains machinery for polynomial & transcendental function arithmetic, algebraic numbers, Grobner basis computation. - contains machinery for various projections & transformations It is available via anonymous FTP from COINS.CS.UMASS.EDU, although some people have reported trouble with the connection. The files are in the directories: VIS$DISK:[GEOMETER]*.LISP VIS$DISK:[GEOMETER.DOC]*.TEX If you do get a copy this way, please send a message to GEOMETER@COINS.CS.UMASS.EDU, just for verification purposes. More information will probably be available at the next DARPA IU workshop. ------------------------------ End of VISION-LIST ********************
