Non-degenerate Developable Triangular Bézier Patches
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Computing exact rational offsets of quadratic triangular Bézier surface patches
The offset surfaces to non-developable quadratic triangular Bézier patches are rational surfaces. In this paper we give a direct proof of this result and formulate an algorithm for computing the parameterization of the offsets. Based on the observation that quadratic triangular patches are capable of producing C smooth surfaces, we use this algorithm to generate rational approximations to offse...
متن کاملConversion between triangular and rectangular Bézier patches
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. ...
متن کاملCharacterizing degrees of freedom for geometric design of developable composite Bézier surfaces
This paper studies geometric design of developable composite Bézier surfaces from two boundary curves. The number of degrees of freedom (DOF) is characterized for the surface design by deriving and counting the developability constraints imposed on the surface control points. With a first boundary curve freely chosen, ð2m þ 3Þ, ðm þ 4Þ, and five DOFs are available for a second boundary curve of...
متن کاملComputer aided geometric design of strip using developable Bézier patches
Developable strip is commonly used in product design due to its ease of manufacture. This paper proposes an algorithm for geometric design of strip using developable Bézier patches. It computes an aggregate of triangular and quadrilateral patches interpolate two given space curves defining a strip. The computation process selects optimal solutions in terms of surface assessment criteria specifi...
متن کاملSubdivision 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 ...
