What is geometry processing?

Geometry processing is a field in computer graphics and computational geometry that focuses on the representation, analysis, manipulation, and optimization of geometric shapes, such as 3D models and surfaces. It involves developing algorithms and tools to process, edit, and improve the quality of geometric data, often for applications in animation, 3D printing, virtual reality, and scientific visualization. Tasks in geometry processing include mesh smoothing, surface reconstruction, shape analysis, and geometric modeling.
