Representing Spheres and Ellipsoids Using Periodic NURBS Surfaces with Fewer Control Vertices
A new kind of NURBS representation for periodic curves is introduced. The method for periodic curves is extended to derive a compact and symmetric representation of the sphere or the ellipsoid using a piecewise bi-quadratic NURBS surface with only eight distinct control vertices.

"Development" and "modernization" or "modernity" are related concepts that are widely but variously used to refer to major social, economic and political changes. Some scholars equate political development with the ability of a political system to grow and adjust to new demands put upon it. The environment of bureaucracy may be visualized as series of concentric circles, with bureaucracy at th...
متن کاملExtrinsic sphere and totally umbilical submanifolds in Finsler spaces
Based on a definition for circle in Finsler space, recently proposed by one of the present authors and Z. Shen, a natural definition of extrinsic sphere in Finsler geometry is given and it is shown that a connected submanifold of a Finsler manifold is totally umbilical and has non-zero parallel mean curvature vector field, if and only if its circles coincide with circles of the ambient...
متن کاملComputing the minimum distance between a point and a NURBS curve
A new method is presented for computing the minimum distance between a point and a NURBS curve. It utilizes a circular clipping technique to eliminate the curve parts outside a circle with the test point as its center point. The radius of the elimination circle becomes smaller and smaller during the subdivision process. A simple condition for terminating the subdivision process is provided, whi...
متن کاملRegression Modeling for Spherical Data via Non-parametric and Least Square Methods
Introduction Statistical analysis of the data on the Earth's surface was a favorite subject among many researchers. Such data can be related to animal's migration from a region to another position. Then, statistical modeling of their paths helps biological researchers to predict their movements and estimate the areas that are most likely to constitute the presence of the animals. From a geome...
