Free-form splines combining NURBS and basic shapes
We show how to combine, into one unified spline complex, C2 tensorproduct bi-cubic NURBS and G2 bi-cubic rational splines. The G2 splines are capable of exactly representing basic shapes such as (pieces of) quadrics and surfaces of revolution, including tori and cyclides. The main challenge is to bridge the differing continuity. We transform the G2 splines to splines that are C2 in homogeneous ...
متن کاملFree Form Shape Representation Using NURBS Modeling
The representation, matching and analysis of objects of interest are of prime importance in shape-based retrieval systems. Considering that these systems involve analysis of various complex shapes, an accurate representation of free form shape is required. A simple and accurate shape representation procedure would ensure meaningful results from the shape-based retrieval systems. Motivated by th...
متن کاملRational bi-cubic G2 splines for design with basic shapes
The paper develops a rational bi-cubic G2 (curvature continuous) analogue of the non-uniform polynomial C2 cubic B-spline paradigm. These rational splines can exactly reproduce parts of multiple basic shapes, such as cyclides and quadrics, in one by default smoothly-connected structure. The versatility of this new tool for processing exact geometry is illustrated by conceptual design from basic...
متن کاملBlending Basic Implicit Shapes Using Trivariate Box Splines
To blend be~ween simple implicit surfaces, such as the sphere, the cone, the cylinder and the torus, we propose La locally employ the zero set of a serendipitous trivariate box spline. This box spline is defined by seven directions that form a regular partition of space into tetrahedra. The resulting blend surface is curvature continuous. An approxlmateparametrization of the piecewise implicit ...
متن کاملNurbs Approximation of A-Splines and A-Patches
Given A spline curves and A patch surfaces that are implicitly de ned on triangles and tetrahedra we determine their NURBS representations We provide a trimmed NURBS form for A spline curves and a parametric tensor product NURBS form for A patch surfaces We concentrate on cubic A patches providing a C continuous surface that interpolates a given triangulation together with surface normals at th...
