[Modélisation et stockage des images] Les données graphiques sont stockées en utilisant des méthodes de représentation vectorielle. Pour la CAO, les principaux modèles sont : le modèle «fil de fer» (2D), - le modèle polyédrique, qui étend le modèle fil de fer au 3D, - le modèle de stockage des frontières («boundary representation»), plus élaboré et utilisé dans des produits tels que le logiciel EUCLID. 1, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20poly%C3%A9drique

(modélisation géométrique des solides.) (...) la représentation dite polyédrique (...) offre l'avantage d'être d'une manipulation facile (le vecteur normal à une face est constant); elle permet d'obtenir des algorithmes de visualisation avec de bonnes performances; mais de cette approximation des surfaces gauches par des faces planes ne résulte qu'un modèle approximatif insuffisant pour certaines applications comme l'usinage (...) 1, record 2, French, - repr%C3%A9sentation%20poly%C3%A9drique
