Computer-aided geometric design
Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD), also known as geometric modeling, is a branch of Computational Geometry.
Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) studies especially the construction and manipulation of curves and surfaces given by a set of points using polynomial, rational, piecewise polynomial, or piecewise rational methods. This branch is closely related to several other branches, such as geometric modeling (for example, Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) objects represent the fundamental structures of modern computer systems used in the aircraft and car industry, such as CATIA V5) or data fitting (interpolation, approximation of a set of points).[1]
