Abstract

Tensor fields have a wide range of applications outside scientific visualization. In this chapter, we review various types of tensors used in geometry processing, including their properties, application requirements, as well as theoretical and practical results. We will focus on the metric tensor and the curvature tensor, two of the most studied tensors in geometry processing.
