Designing coupled free-form surfaces.
The problem of designing optical systems that contain free-form surfaces is a challenging one, even in the case of designing a single surface. Here we present a method for the coupled design of two free-form reflective surfaces that will have a prescribed distortion. On one hand, the method can be described using traditional vectors and matrices, which we do, but it is motivated by viewing the ...
متن کاملMatching free-form surfaces
In this work, the matching problem between two free-form parametric surfaces, S 0 (u, v) and S 1 (u, v), has been considered in the context of a "rst stage of the metamorphosis process, which is de"ned as gradual and continuous transformation of one key shape into another. A method is presented to approximate the two reparametrization functions, r(u, v) and t(u, v), via a discrete sampled set o...
متن کاملMachining Free-Form Surfaces
This paper presents an analytical method for planning an efficient tool-path in machining free-form surfaces on 3-axis milling machines. This new approach uses a nonconstant offset of the previous tool-path, which guarantees the cutter moving in an unmachined area of the part surface and without redundant machining. The method comprises three steps: (1) the calculation of the tool-path interval...
متن کاملGauss map computation for free-form surfaces
The Gauss map of a smooth doubly{curved surface characterizes the range of variation of the surface normal as an area on the unit sphere. An algorithm to approximate the Gauss map boundary to any desired accuracy is presented, in the context of a tensor{product polynomial surface patch, r(u;v) for (u; v) 2 0; 1 ] 0; 1 ]. Boundary segments of the Gauss map correspond to variations of the normal ...
متن کاملFree - Form Deformation for Implicit Surfaces
Implicit surfaces offer many advantages for sketch-based modeling systems, such as blending, CSG, and a procedural object hierarchy. Free-form deformation (FFD) is also extremely useful in this context, however existing FFD approaches do not support implicit surface representations, and FFD lattice manipulation is time-consuming compared to sketch-based techniques. In this thesis, an FFD techni...
