On Geometric Continuity of Isophotes
نویسنده
چکیده
It is a well known fact that we can deduce G continuous isophotes from a G continuous surface This paper gives answer to the reverse problem we deduce a G continuous surface from G continu ous isophotes on the surface We show how many families of isophotes we have to consider and what constraints apply Furthermore we apply the geodesic curvature and the thickness of isophotes as a surface interro gation tool

Are isophotes and reflection lines the same?
Isophotes and reflection lines are standard tools for surface interrogation. We study the correlations between them. We show that isophotes and reflection lines are different (but not disjunct) classes of surface curves. Furthermore we introduce the concept of reflection circles as a generalization of isophotes and reflection lines. Reflection circles can be considered as the mirror images of a...
متن کاملDetecting surface irregularities using isophotes
This contribution refers to the use of lines of equal light intensity, called isophotes, for detecting irregularities of free form surfaces in car body construction. The isophotes show irregularities of surface smoothness, of the Gaussian curvature and of the distribution of the surface normals. The algorithm described was realized in the CADCAM-system Ogsurf-P, a Volkswagen development for car...
متن کاملThe Curvature of Characteristic Curves on Surfaces
nalyzing and interrogating designed surfaces remains an important and widely researched issue in computer-aided geometric design (CAGD). Treating families of characteristic curves— such as contour lines, lines of curvature, asymptotic lines, isophotes, and reflection lines—on the surface proves a popular method of doing this. All these curves have something in common: s They reflect the surface...
متن کاملAn Optimal G^2-Hermite Interpolation by Rational Cubic Bézier Curves
In this paper, we study a geometric G^2 Hermite interpolation by planar rational cubic Bézier curves. Two data points, two tangent vectors and two signed curvatures interpolated per each rational segment. We give the necessary and the sufficient intrinsic geometric conditions for two C^2 parametric curves to be connected with G2 continuity. Locally, the free parameters w...
متن کاملSurface Interrogation in Computer Aided Geometric Design
Geometric modelling of vehicle bodies like cars, airplanes, ships etc. uses the geometric concepts of freeform spline curves and surfaces.The quality of these models can be analysed with several surface interrogation tools like curvature plots, isophotes, highlight and reflection lines. In this paper several approaches to reflection lines are reviewed. The main aim of the paper is to reveal the...
