Implicit Sweep Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique is presented for generating implicit sweep objects that support direct specification and manipulation of the surface with no topological limitations on the 2D sweep template. The novelty of this method is that the underlying scalar field is bounded and C continuous, apart from surface creases. Bounded scalar fields guarantee local influence when modeling with implicit surfaces, an important usbility requirement for interactive modeling. A discrete approximation is also described that supports fast evaluation for bounded scalar fields. The new sweep objects are implemented in an interactive BlobTree modeling tool, providing an intuitive and expressive free-form implicit modeling component. This sweep representation permits conversion of parametric sweep surfaces to implicit volumes. An application to volume reconstruction from parallel contours is also explored.

Interactive tools for shape modeling with hierarchical implicit surfaces have been limited both by the high computational cost of visualization, and the lack of techniques for direct surface manipulation. To address the visualization issue, Hierarchical Spatial Caching is developed. This novel technique combines caching and spatial approximation to accelerate queries of the functional model tre...
متن کاملClosed-form Swept Volume of Implicit Surfaces
Recent developments in formulations for generating swept volumes have made a significant impact on the efficiency of employing such algorithms and on the extent to which formulations can be used in representing complex shapes. In this paper, we outline a method for employing the representation of implicit surfaces using the Jacobian rank deficiency condition presented earlier for the sweep of p...

متن کاملHaptic sculpting of multi-resolution B-spline surfaces with shaped tools
In this paper, we first propose an implicit surface to B-spline surface haptic interface, which provides both force and torque feedback. We then present a new haptic sculpting system for B-spline surfaces with shaped tools of implicit surface. In the physical world, people touch or sculpt with their fingers or tools, instead of just manipulating points. Shaped virtual sculpting tools help users...
متن کاملThe Scale Method for Blending Operations in Functionally-Based Constructive Geometry
This paper presents a scale method for developing high dimensional scale functions to blend implicitly defined objects. Scale functions are differentiable on the entire domain except the origin, provide blending range control, and behave like Min/Max operators everywhere, so even a successive composition of blending operations containing overlapped blending regions can be generated smoothly. Be...
