Curvature behaviours at extraordinary points of subdivision surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the development of subdivision surface methods one of the important questions has been the degree of continuity of the limit surface. In particular whether continuity of curvature can be achieved at the extraordinary points. However, there are several different curvature behaviours, not just two, and this note demonstrates them by examples. q 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A C 2 Polar Jet Subdivision
We describe a subdivision scheme that acts on control nodes that each carry a vector of values. Each vector defines partial derivatives, referred to as jets in the following and subdivision computes new jets from old jets. By default, the jets are automatically initialized from a design mesh. While the approach applies more generally, we consider here only a restricted class of design meshes, c...
متن کاملGaussian and Mean Curvature of Subdivision Surfaces
By explicitly deriving the curvature of subdivision surfaces in the extraordinary points, we give an alternative, more direct account of the criteria necessary and sufficient for achieving curvature continuity than earlier approaches that locally parametrize the surface by eigenfunctions. The approach allows us to rederive and thus survey the important lower bound results on piecewise polynomia...
متن کاملCurvature Smoothness of Subdivision Surfaces
We examine the smoothness properties of the principal curvatures of subdivision surfaces near extraordinary points. In particular we give an estimate of their Lp class based on the eigen structure of the subdivision matrix. As a result we can show that the popular Loop and Catmull-Clark schemes (among many others) have square integrable principal curvatures justifying their use as shape functio...
متن کاملSmooth Ternary Subdivision of Triangle Meshes
Standard binary subdivision operators may generate surfaces with unbounded curvatures at points corresponding to extraordinary vertices. This defect can be removed by manipulating the eigenvalues of the subdivision operator to impose a bounded curvature spectrum. This procedure may enlarge the support of an extraordinary vertex beyond its two-ring. In the ternary subdivision setting, where mesh...
متن کاملAn Appropriate Geometric Invariant for the C 2-Analysis of Subdivision Surfaces
We introduce the embedded Weingarten map as a geometric invariant of piecewise smooth surfaces. It is given by a (3 × 3)-matrix and provides complete curvature information in a continuous way. Thus, it is the appropriate tool for the C-analysis of subdivision surfaces near extraordinary points. We derive asymptotic expansions and show that the convergence of the sequence of embedded Weingarten ...
