Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) is an annual symposium hosted by the
European Association For Computer Graphics (Eurographics). The goal of the symposium is to present and discuss new research ideas and results in
geometry processing
Geometry processing, or mesh processing, is an area of research that uses concepts from applied mathematics, computer science and engineering to design efficient algorithms for the acquisition, reconstruction, analysis, manipulation, simulation a ...
. The conference is geared toward the discussion of mathematical foundations and practical algorithms for the processing of complex geometric data sets, ranging from acquisition and editing all the way to
animation, transmission and
display. As such, it draws on many disciplines spanning
pure
Pure may refer to:
Computing
* A pure function
* A pure virtual function
* PureSystems, a family of computer systems introduced by IBM in 2012
* Pure Software, a company founded in 1991 by Reed Hastings to support the Purify tool
* Pure-FTPd, F ...

applied mathematics
Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods by different fields such as physics, engineering, medicine, biology, finance, business, computer science, and industry. Thus, applied mathematics is a combination of mathemati ...

Computer Graphics Forum
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations ( computation) automatically. Modern digital electronic computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These pro ...
