Non-uniform B-Spline Subdivision Using Refine and Smooth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subdivision surfaces would be useful in a greater number of applications if an arbitrary-degree, non-uniform scheme existed that was a generalisation of NURBS. As a step towards building such a scheme, we investigate non-uniform analogues of the Lane-Riesenfeld ‘refine and smooth’ subdivision paradigm. We show that the assumptions made in constructing such an analogue are critical, and conclude that Schaefer’s global knot insertion algorithm is the most promising route for further investigation in this area.

A symmetric, non-uniform, refine and smooth subdivision algorithm for general degree B-splines
Subdivision surfaces would find a greater number of applications if there was a scheme that included general degree NURBS as a special case. As a step towards such a scheme, we present a univariate refine and smooth subdivision algorithm that applies directly to regular regions of a surface and might, in future work, be generalised to incorporate extraordinary points. The algorithm is symmetric...
متن کاملSelective knot insertion for symmetric, non-uniform refine and smooth B-spline subdivision
NURBS surfaces can be non-uniform and defined for any degree, but existing subdivision surfaces are either uniform or of fixed degree. The resulting incompatibility forms a barrier to the adoption of subdivision for CAD applications. Motivated by the search for NURBS-compatible subdivision schemes, we present a non-uniform subdivision algorithm for B-splines in the spirit of the uniform Lane-Ri...
متن کاملSmooth Geometry Images
Previous parametric representations of smooth genus-zero surfaces require a collection of abutting patches (e.g. splines, NURBS, recursively subdivided polygons). We introduce a simple construction for these surfaces using a single uniform bi-cubic B-spline. Due to its tensor-product structure, the spline control points are conveniently stored as a geometry image with simple boundary symmetries...

Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) surfaces can be non-uniform and defined for any degree, but existing subdivision surfaces are either uniform or of fixed degree. The resulting incompatibility forms a barrier to the adoption of subdivision for ComputerAided Design. In this talk I will discuss our work towards a superset of NURBS which can handle irregularities in the control mesh. We call t...
متن کاملAn Implementation of Non-Uniform Recursive Subdivision Surfaces
Normal Doo-Sabin subdivision surfaces are based on uniform quadratic B-splines. This makes it somewhat more difficult to produce an object with sharp creases or corners using normal Doo-Sabin subdivision. Non-Uniform Subdivision Surfaces on the other hand, allow for the possibility of creating an object that will keep specific points sharp based on the knot intervals that a particular edge is a...
