Abstract: This paper introduces the mathematical
framework of conformal geometric algebra (CGA) as a language for
computer graphics and computer vision. Specifically it discusses
a new method for pose and position interpolation based on CGA which
firstly allows for existing interpolation methods to be cleanly
extended to pose and position interpolation, but also allows for
this to be extended to higher-dimension spaces and all conformal
transforms (including dilations). In addition, we discuss a method
of dealing with conics in CGA and the intersection and reflections
of rays with such conic surfaces. Possible applications for these
algorithms are also discussed.
