Convolution surfaces of quadratic triangular Bézier surfaces

چکیده
In the present paper we prove that the polynomial quadratic triangular Bézier surfaces are LN-surfaces. We demonstrate how to reparameterize the surfaces such that the normals obtain linear coordinate functions. The close relation to quadratic Cremona transformations is elucidated. These reparameterizations can be effectively used for the computation of convolution surfaces.

Computing exact rational offsets of quadratic triangular Bézier surface patches
The offset surfaces to non-developable quadratic triangular Bézier patches are rational surfaces. In this paper we give a direct proof of this result and formulate an algorithm for computing the parameterization of the offsets. Based on the observation that quadratic triangular patches are capable of producing C smooth surfaces, we use this algorithm to generate rational approximations to offse...
متن کاملRational hypersurfaces with rational convolutions
The aim of this article is to focus on the investigation of such rationally parametrized hypersurfaces which admit rational convolution (RC) generally, or in some special cases. Examples of such hypersurfaces are presented and their properties are discussed. We also aim to examine links between well-known curves and surfaces (PH/PN or LN) and general objects defined and explored in this article...
متن کاملApproximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces
An attractive method for approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces is introduced. The main result is that the arbitrary given order derived vectors of a polynomial triangular surface converge uniformly to those of the approximated rational triangular Bézier surface as the elevated degree tends to infinity. The polynomial triangular surface is con...
متن کاملSpherical quadratic Bézier triangles with chord length parameterization and tripolar coordinates in space
We consider special rational triangular Bézier surfaces of degree 2 on the sphere in standard form and show that these surfaces are parameterized by chord lengths. More precisely, it is shown that the ratios of the three distances of a point to the patch vertices and the ratios of the distances of the parameter point to the three vertices of the (suitably chosen) domain triangle are identical. ...
متن کاملOn a remarkable class of rational surfaces in 4-space generalizing surfaces with linear normal vector fields
In the present paper we investigate a special class of two-dimensional rational surfaces Φ in R whose tangent planes satisfy the following property: For any threespace E in R there exists a unique tangent plane T (u, v) of Φ which is parallel to E. For all possible varieties of tangent planes T (u, v) the corresponding families of surfaces in R are constructed explicitly. Quadratic triangular B...
