چکیده

The theory of 'geometric continuity' within the subject of CAGD is reviewed. In particular, we are concerned with how parametric surface patches for CAGD can be pieced together to form a smooth C surface. The theory is applied to the problem of filling an n-sided hole occurring within a smooth rectangular patch complex. A number of solutions to this problem are surveyed.

Filling N-sided Holes Using Combined Subdivision Schemes

A new method is presented for calculating N-sided surface patches. The algorithm generates a subdivision surface which satisses arbitrary C 1 boundary conditions. The proposed subdivision scheme is based on a Catmull-Clark type subdivision scheme that operates in the surface interior. Near the boundary we introduce new subdivision rules that involve the given boundary conditions. The generated ...

Curvature continuous spline surfaces over irregular meshes

Conccpts and techniques for thc construction of spline surfaces over irregular meshes are developed and made concrete by exhibiting a family of 0 2 surface splines. These splines extend the B-spline paradigm for the construction of parametric piecewise polynomial surfaces to control_meshe9 with non quadrila.leral cells and mOre or fewer Lhan four cells meeting at a point. In particular, the mes...

Generation of bi-monotone patches from quadrilateral mesh for reverse engineering

Thanks to recent improvements, computational methods can now be used to convert triangular meshes into quadrilateral meshes so that the quadrilateral elements capture well the principal curvature directional fields of surfaces and intrinsically have surface parametric values. In this study, a quadrilateral mesh generated using the mixed integer quadrangulation technique of Bommes et al. is used...

Smoothing Polyhedra Using Trimmed Bicubic Patches

Several efficient constructions of smooth surfaces following the outlines of a polyhedral mesh are based on three-sided patches. To demonstrate that these constructions arc compatible with existing software based on tensor-product patches, the particular scheme in [3] is expressed in terms of linearly-trimmed bicubic patches. Explicit formulas relating the coefficients of the patches to the ver...
