Polynomial Patches through Geodesics
The main goal of this paper is to exhibit a simple method to create surface patches that contain given curves as geodesics, when reparameterized by arclength. The method is based on the observation that a curve which lies on a surface is a geodesic (up to parametrization) if and only if its tangent and acceleration vectors are coplanar with the surface normal along the curve. This observation r...
متن کاملMinimal Geodesics on Groups
The three-dimensional motion of an incompressible inviscid uid is classically described by the Euler equations, but can also be seen, following Arnold 1], as a geodesic on a group of volume-preserving maps. Local existence and uniqueness of minimal geodesics have been established by Ebin and Marsden 16]. In the large, for a large class of data, the existence of minimal geodesics may fail, as sh...
متن کاملCubic polynomial patches through geodesics
We consider patches that contain any given 3D polynomial curve as a pregeodesic (i.e. geodesic up to reparametrization). A curve is a pregeodesic if and only if its rectifying plane coincides with the tangent plane to the surface, we use this fact to construct ruled cubic patches through pregeodesics and bicubic patches through pairs of pregeodesics. We also discuss the G1 connection of (1, k) ...
متن کاملEdge Integration Using Minimal Geodesics
A new approach of edge integration for shape modeling is presented. Detection of the boundaries of objects in a given gray{level image is performed by a multi{stage procedure that integrates a potential generator and a weighted distance transform. This enables us to nd the global minimum of an active contour model's energy. This approach has an advantage over the classical snakes models since i...
متن کاملBounded Geodesics in Moduli Space
In the moduli space of quadratic differentials over complex structures on a surface, we construct a set of full Hausdorff dimension of points with bounded Teichmüller geodesic trajectories. The main tool is quantitative nondivergence of Teichmüller horocycles, due to Minsky and Weiss. This has an application to billiards in rational polygons.
