Visualization and computation of curvature behaviour of freeform curves and surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper consists of two parts. In the first, an interrogation method for a visualization of curvature behaviour is introduced. The method consists of a generalized focal analysis. The second part concerns the accurate computation of surface behaviour. Arithmetic operations on BBzier surfaces are used to achieve au exact representation of surface properties. With these property surfaces in Bezier form, qualitative and quantitative statements relating to the investigated surface are possible.

متن کاملfreeform: A Tool for Teaching the Mathematics of Curves and Surfaces
We describe the structure and use of an interactive modeling and visualization tool used to help students understand various important concepts in curve and surface design. This paper describes those aspects of the tool related to NURBS curves, but Bezier and Hermite curves are also supported as are Bezier and B-Spline surfaces. The focus of this paper is almost exclusively on those features of...
متن کاملMetamorphosis of Planar Parametric Curves Via Curvature Interpolation
This work considers the problem of metamorphosis interpolation between two freeform planar curves. Given two planar parametric curves, the curvature signature of the two curves is linearly blended, yielding a gradual change that is not only smooth but also employs intrinsic curvature shape properties, and hence is highly appealing. In order to be able to employ this curvature blending, we prese...

متن کامل3D Freeform Surfaces from Planar Sketches Using Neural Networks
A novel intelligent approach into 3D freeform surface reconstruction from planar sketches is proposed. A multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network is employed to induce 3D freeform surfaces from planar freehand curves. Planar curves were used to represent the boundaries of a freeform surface patch. The curves were varied iteratively and sampled to produce training data to train and test the ne...
