Review text

Let \(S\) be a surface (compact, connected with without boundary) and \(f: S\to \mathbb{R}^ 2\) a generic smooth mapping. Suppose the apparent contour \(\gamma\) is irreducible (which means the fold curve of \(f\) is connected). The author gives a criterion to decide if the number of singularities in the contour is the least possible or not, and shows that these minimal values of the cusps and double points of \(\gamma\) depend on the Euler- Poincaré characteristic \(\chi(S)\) of the surface.
