Conversion between triangular and rectangular Bézier patches

چکیده

This paper presents an explicit formula that converts a triangular Bézier patch of degree n to a degenerate rectangular Bézier patch of degree n× n by reparametrization. Based on this formula, we develop a method for approximating a degenerate rectangular Bézier patch by three nondegenerate Bézier patches; more patches can be introduced by subdivision to meet a user-specified error tolerance.  2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Generalized Subdivision of Bézier Surfaces

2. MAIN RESULTS In this paper, subdivision methods for rectangular Bézier A rectangular Bézier surface of degree n 3 m can be surfaces are generalized to subdivide a rectangular Bézier surface patch of degree n 3 m into two rectangular Bézier surrepresented by face patches of degree n 3 (m 1 n), while the parameter domain of the Bézier surface is decomposed into two trapezoids. As an applicatio...

Non-degenerate Developable Triangular Bézier Patches

In this talk we show a construction for characterising developable surfaces in the form of Bézier triangular patches. It is shown that constructions used for rectangular patches are not useful, since they provide degenerate triangular patches. Explicit constructions of nondegenerate developable triangular patches are provided.

Subdivision Algorithms and Convexity Analysis for Rational Bézier Triangular Patches

Triangular surfaces are important because in areas where the geometry is not similar to rectangular domain, the rectangular surface patch will collapse into a triangular patch. In such a case, one boundary edge may collapse into a boundary vertex of the patch, giving rise to geometric dissimilarities (e.g. shape parameters, Gaussian curvature distribution, cross boundary continuities etc.) and ...

Performance of the Triangulation-based Methods of Positivity-preserving Scattered Data Interpolation

We present the result and accuracy comparison of generalized positivitypreserving schemes for triangular Bézier patches of 1 C and 2 C scattered data interpolants that have been constructed. We compare three methods of 1 C schemes using cubic triangular Bézier patches and one 2 C scheme using quintic triangular Bézier patches. Our test case consists of four sets of node/test function pairs, wit...

Topologically consistent trimmed surface approximations based on triangular patches

Topologically consistent algorithms for the intersection and trimming of free-form parametric surfaces are of fundamental importance in computer-aided design, analysis, and manufacturing. Since the intersection of (for example) two bicubic tensor-product surface patches is not a rational curve, it is usually described by approximations in the parameter domain of each surface. If these approxima...
