A Subdivision Framework for Partition of Unity Parametrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Partition of Unity Parametrics (PUPs) are a generalization of NURBS that allow us to use arbitrary basis functions for modeling parametric curves and surfaces. One interesting problem is finding subdivision schemes for this recently developed and flexible class of parametrics. In this paper, we introduce a systematic approach for determining uniform subdivision of PUPs curves and tensorproduct surfaces. Our approach formulates PUPs subdivision as a least squares problem, which enables us to find exact subdivision filters for refinable basis functions and optimal approximate schemes for irrefinable ones. To illustrate this approach, we provide sample subdivision schemes with different properties, which are further demonstrated by presenting various examples.

Partition of unity parametrics for texture synthesis
Partition of unity parametrics (PUPs) are a recent framework designed for geometric modeling. We propose employing PUPs for procedural texture synthesis, taking advantage of the framework’s guarantees of high continuity and local support. Using PUPs to interpolate among data values distributed through the plane, the problem of texture synthesis can be approached from the perspective of point pl...

متن کاملEfficient Reconstruction of Large Scattered Geometric Datasets using the Partition of Unity and Radial Basis Functions
A new scheme for the reconstruction of large geometric data is presented. It is based on the wellknown radial basis function model combined with an adaptive spatial and functional subdivision associated with a family of functions called partition of unity. This combination offers robust and efficient solution to a great variety of 2D and 3D reconstruction problems, such as the reconstruction of...
متن کاملAn Adaptive hp-Version of the Multilevel Particle–Partition of Unity Method
This paper is concerned with the hp-adaptive multilevel solution of second order elliptic partial differential equations using the meshfree particle–partition of unity method. The proposed refinement scheme automatically constructs new discretization points (or particles), the meshfree analogue of an adaptive h-refinement, and local approximation spaces with better local resolution, a p-refinem...
متن کاملApplications of Domain Decomposition and Partition of Unity Methods in Physics and Geometry
We consider a class of adaptive multilevel domain decomposition-like algorithms, built from a combination of adaptive multilevel finite element, domain decomposition, and partition of unity methods. These algorithms have several interesting features such as very low communication requirements, and they inherit a simple and elegant approximation theory framework from partition of unity methods. ...
