Shape Preserving Surfaces for the Visualization of Positive and Convex Data using Rational Bi-quadratic Splines

چکیده
A smooth surface interpolation scheme for positive and convex data has been developed. This scheme has been extended from the rational quadratic spline function of Sarfraz [11] to a rational bi-quadratic spline function. Simple data dependent constraints are derived on the free parameters in the description of rational bi-quadratic spline function to preserve the shape of 3D positive and convex data. The rational spline scheme has a unique representation. The developed scheme is computationally economical and visually pleasant.

Convex Surface Visualization Using Rational Bi- cubic Function
The rational cubic function with three parameters has been extended to rational bi-cubic function to visualize the shape of regular convex surface data. The rational bi-cubic function involves six parameters in each rectangular patch. Data dependent constraints are derived on four of these parameters to visualize the shape of convex surface data while other two are free to refine the shape of s...
متن کاملPositivity-preserving rational bi-cubic spline interpolation for 3D positive data
This paper deals with the shape preserving interpolation problem for visualization of 3D positive data. A required display of 3D data looks smooth and pleasant. A rational bi-cubic function involving six shape parameters is presented for this objective which is an extension of piecewise rational function in the form of cubic/quadratic involving three shape parameters. Simple data dependent cons...
متن کاملShape Preserving Constrained Data Visualization Using Rational Functions
This work has been contributed on the visualization of curves and surfaces for constrained data. A rational cubic function, with free shape parameters in its description, has been introduced and used. This function has been constrained to visualize the preservation of shape of the data by imposing constraints on free parameters. The rational cubic curve case has also been extended to a rational...
متن کاملConstrained Interpolation via Cubic Hermite Splines
Introduction In industrial designing and manufacturing, it is often required to generate a smooth function approximating a given set of data which preserves certain shape properties of the data such as positivity, monotonicity, or convexity, that is, a smooth shape preserving approximation. It is assumed here that the data is sufficiently accurate to warrant interpolation, rather than least ...
متن کاملMonotone Rational Trigonometric Interpolation
This study is concerned with the visualization of monotone data using a piecewise C rational trigonometric interpolating scheme. Four positive shape parameters are incorporated in the structure of rational trigonometric spline. Conditions on two of these parameters are derived to attain the monotonicity of monotone data and other two are left free. Figures are used widely to exhibit that the pr...
