The Ptolemy–Alhazen problem and quadric surface mirror reflection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the problem of reflection light on spherical and quadric surface mirrors. In case mirrors, this is known as Alhazen problem. For mirror problem, we focus property an ellipse show that catacaustic curve unit circle follows naturally from equation obtained ellipse. Moreover, provide algebraic solves Alhazen's for

Quadric-Based Polygonal Surface Simplification
Many applications in computer graphics and related fields can benefit from automatic simplification of complex polygonal surface models. Applications are often confronted with either very densely over-sampled surfaces or models too complex for the limited available hardware capacity. An effective algorithm for rapidly producing high-quality approximations of the original model is a valuable too...
متن کاملOptimal triangulation and quadric-based surface simplification
Many algorithms for reducing the number of triangles in a surface model have been proposed, but to date there has been little theoretical analysis of the approximations they produce. Previously we described an algorithm that simplifies polygonal models using a quadric error metric. This method is fast and produces high quality approximations in practice. Here we provide some theory to explain w...
متن کاملMirror-based reflection in AmbientTalk
This paper introduces a novel mechanism to perform intercession (a form of reflection) in an objectoriented programming language with the goal of making the language extensible from within itself. The proposed mechanism builds upon a mirror-based architecture, leading to a reusable reflective application programming interface that cleanly separates interface from implementation details. However...
متن کاملQuadric Surface Extraction by Variational Shape Approximation
Based on Lloyd iteration, we present a variational method for extracting general quadric surfaces from a 3D mesh surface. This work extends the previous variational methods that extract only planes or special types of quadrics, i.e., spheres and circular cylinders. Instead of using the exact L error metric, we use a new approximate L error metric to make our method more efficient for computing ...
متن کاملVariational mesh segmentation via quadric surface fitting
Wepresent a new variationalmethod formesh segmentation by fitting quadric surfaces. Each component of the resulting segmentation is represented by a general quadric surface (including plane as a special case). A novel energy function is defined to evaluate the quality of the segmentation, which combines both L2 and L2,1 metrics from a triangle to a quadric surface. The Lloyd iteration is used t...
