Constraint Modeling for Curves and Surfaces in CAGD

چکیده
Even if Computer-Aided Geometric Design modelers are now based on powerful mathematical models for curves and surfaces, there are important needs for tools to create, analyze and modify these objects. Designing product shapes with free-form curves and surfaces is still a tedious task and modifying the shape obtained is even more difficult and, most of the time, needs recreating a part up to the entire model. Moreover, designers prefer to concentrate on design objectives, expressed in terms of functionalities and constraints related to engineering topics and technical matters rather than being forced to spend time on mathematical and geometric parameters of a model, which is not very meaningful for them. Firstly, the aim of this paper is to analyze the problem of constraint modeling of curves and surfaces and to propose a survey of the main results achieved in the area of geometric constraint specification for 3D objects incorporating free-form curves and surfaces. Secondly, a list of major scientific difficulties to overcome is proposed that relates free-form shapes to their use in the context of engineering

Constraint Modeling for Curves and Surfaces in CAGD: a Survey
Computer-Aided Geometric Design modelers are now based on powerful mathematical curve and surface models, but there is still a considerable need for efficient tools to handle, analyze and modify these objects. Designing product shapes using geometric operations on free-form curves and surfaces is still a tedious task. Moreover, designers would prefer to use meaningful tools to concentrate on de...
متن کاملCAGD’s Top Ten: What to Watch
hile painless for the guest editor, these introductions might cause readers some pain. Still, I don’t want to waste this opportunity to tell you about interesting developments in computer-aided geometric design by giving you reason to hastily skim past these opening paragraphs. So, I abstracted a “top ten” list of what’s happening in CAGD based on ideas from recent conferences, technical papers...
متن کاملThe intersection problems of parametric curve and surfaces by means of matrix based implicit representations
In this paper, we introduce and study a new implicit representation of parametric curves and parametric surfaces . We show how these representations which we will call the matrix implied, establish a bridge between geometry and linear algebra, thus opening the possibility of a more robust digital processing. The contribution of this approach is discussed and illustrated on important issues of g...
متن کاملGröbner Basis Methods for Algebraic Blending Surfaces in CAGD
The research on constructing algebraic blending surfaces between given surfaces is one of the most important problems in geometric modeling and computer graphics. To solve the problem better, this paper gives novel methods using theories of Gröbner bases to construct the required blending surfaces. According to the main theorems, we obtain the algorithms for constructing the blending surface, w...
متن کاملNew Schemes for Multi-sided Transfinite Surface Interpolation
One of the major problems in CAGD is to create mathematical representations for complex free-form objects composed of several smoothly connected surfaces. An intuitive solution is curvenet-based design, where designers directly define feature curves of the object, which are interpolated by multi-sided surfaces. A convenient representation for these models is based on transfinite surface interpo...
