Dupin's cyclide and the cyclide patch

نویسنده

  • John Knapman
چکیده

To retrieve models from a data base for recognizing objects in stereo, a new formulation of patches of Dupin's Cyclide provides a succinct representation of surface shape. The parameters can be extracted from the Weingarten Map and its derivatives at a point where a contour meets an extremal boundary.

Principal Patches -a New Class of Surface Patch Based on Differential Geometry

This paper describes a new class of surface patch for use in computational geometry, where fairness is built in at the design stage by using ideas from differential geometry. Principal patches are patches whose sides are lines of curvature, and can be created by making the boundary curves obey two conditions called the frame and position matching equations. lt is shown that surface continuity i...

Principal Patches for Computational Geometry

This thesis presents a new class of surface patches for the creation of sculptured surfaces in mechanical engineering applications of computer aided design. Ideas from differential geometry are used to create principal patches whose edges are lines of curvature. This is done by ensuring that the sides obey two equations called the frame matching and position matching conditions. It is shown tha...

Conversion d'un carreau de Bézier rationnel biquadratique en un carreau de cyclide de Dupin quartique

Dupin cyclides were introduced in 1822 by the French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin. They are algebraic surfaces of degree 3 or 4. The set of geometric properties of these surfaces has encouraged an increasing interest in using them for geometric modeling. A couple of algorithmes is already developed to convert a Dupin cyclide patch into a rational biquadratic Bézier patch. In this paper, w...

Dupin Cyclide Blends Between Quadric Surfaces for Shape Modeling

We introduce a novel method to define Dupin cyclide blends between quadric primitives. Dupin cyclides are nonspherical algebraic surfaces discovered by French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin at the beginning of the 19th century. As a Dupin cyclide can be fully characterized by its principal circles, we have focussed our study on how to determine principal circles tangent to both quadrics bei...

From Dupin Cyclides to Scaled Cyclides

Dupin cyclides are algebraic surfaces introduced for the first time in 1822 by the French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin. They have a low algebraic degree and have been proposed as a solution to a variety of geometric modeling problems. The circular curvature line’s property facilitates the construction of the cyclide (or the portion of a cyclide) that blends two circular quadric primitives...
