NURBS snakes

چکیده
A new formulation of energy minimising splines, based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) curves, is presented. The existing snake models do not facilitate the local control of their shapes without increasing the number of control points. The introduction of NURBS renders more flexibility into the snake model due to the weighting parameters that are made to adapt according to the curvature of the contour. The proposed snake model was tested on both synthetic and real images; the new model demonstrated more local flexibility than the previous models and is capable of attracting to complex boundaries of the objects with increased accuracy. q 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملAn Improved N-dimensional NURBs-based Metamodel
Non Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBs) are proved to be very promising for metamodeling in engineering problems, because they have unique properties such as local modification scheme, strong convex hull property, and infinitely differentiability, etc. Since NURBs are defined by control points, knot vector, and weights associated with control points, the precision of NURBs is influenced by all o...
متن کاملAdaptive local surface refinement based on LR NURBS and its application to contact
A novel adaptive local surface refinement technique based on Locally Refined Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (LR NURBS) is presented. LR NURBS can model complex geometries exactly and are the rational extension of LR B-splines. The local representation of the parameter space overcomes the drawback of non-existent local refinement in standard NURBS-based isogeometric analysis. For a convenient em...
متن کاملD-NURBS: A Physics-Based Framework for Geometric Design
This paper presents dynamic NURBS or D NURBS a physics based generalization of Non Uniform Rational B Splines NURBS have become a de facto stan dard in commercial modeling systems because of their power to represent both free form shapes and common analytic shapes Traditionally however NURBS have been viewed as purely geometric primitives which require the designer to interactively adjust many ...
متن کاملHierarchical D-NURBS Surfaces and Their Physics-Based Sculpting
In this paper, we present Hierarchical D-NURBS as a new shape modeling representation that generalizes powerful, physics-based D-NURBS for interactive geometric design. Our Hierarchical D-NURBS can be viewed as a collection of standard D-NURBS finite elements, organized hierarchically in a tree structure and subject to continuity constraints across the shared boundaries of adjacent D-NURBS elem...
