We study the problem of finding an interpolating curve passing through prescribed points in the Euclidean space. The interpolating curve minimizes the pointwise maximum length, i.e., L∞-norm, of its acceleration. We re-formulate the problem as an optimal control problem and employ simple but effective tools of optimal control theory. We characterize solutions associated with singular and nonsin...

Interpolating implicit surfaces using radial basis functions can directly specify surface points and surface normals with closed form solutions, so they are elegantly used in surface reconstruction and shape morphing. This paper presents subdivision interpolating implicit surfaces, a new progressive subdivision tessellation scheme for interpolating implicit surfaces controlled by a triangular m...

A range restricted C interpolation local scheme to scattered data is derived. Each macro triangle of the triangulated domain is split into three mini triangles and the interpolating surface on each mini triangle is a cubic Bézier triangle. Sufficient conditions derived for the non-negativity of these cubic Bézier triangles are expressed as lower bounds to the Bézier ordinates. The non-negativit...

We propose a generalization of classical Euclidean piecewiseBézier surfaces to manifolds, and we use this generalization to compute a C1-surface interpolating a given set of manifold-valued data points associated to a regular 2D grid. We then propose an efficient algorithm to compute the control points defining the surface based on the Euclidean concept of natural C2-splines and show examples o...
