Rational blending surfaces between quadrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using tools from classical line geometry and the theory of kinematic mappings, it is possible to define an intrinsic control structure for NURBS curves and surfaces on the sphere, the cylinder and on any projectively equivalent quadratic surface. These methods are further used to construct exact C blends between these surfaces, such that interactive design of trim lines and surface tension is possible. The lowest possible degree of a blend that can be achieved with this method is (4, 3).

PN-surfaces for blending applications
General theory of PN-surfaces (surfaces with rational offsets) is developed using dual Laguerre geometry and a universal rational parametrization of the Blaschke cylinder. This approach allows to construct new PN-blendings between two natural quadrics in many positions, and demostrate improved shape and lower parametrization degree than earlier proposed canal surface solutions. The construction...
متن کاملDupin 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...
متن کاملImplicitizing rational surfaces with base points using the method of moving surfaces
The method of moving planes and moving quadrics can express the implicit equation of a parametric surface as the determinant of a matrix M . The rows of M correspond to moving planes or moving quadrics that follow the parametric surface. Previous papers on the method of moving surfaces have shown that a simple base point has the effect of converting one moving quadric to a moving plane. A much ...
متن کاملImproved Blends between Primitive Surfaces
By applying results on canal surfaces, we study exact rational parametrizations of fixed radius rolling ball blends of pairs of natural quadrics. We classify all configurations where this kind of rational parametrization is possible, and describe a general algorithm for parametrizing fixed radius rolling ball blends. The algorithm is then applied to parametrize the fixed radius rolling ball ble...
متن کاملFrom 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...
