Splines Covering Polar Configurations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A polar configuration is a triangle fan in a quad-dominant mesh; it allows for many mesh lines to join at a single polar vertex. This paper shows how a single tensor-product spline of degree (3, 6) can cap a polar configuration with a C surface. By design, this C polar spline joins C with surrounding bi-3 tensor-product splines and thereby complements algorithms that smoothly cap star-like, multi-sided regions.

Modelling of curves in polar and Cartesian coordinates
A new class of spline curves in polar coordinates has been presented in 12] and independently considered in 3]. These are rational trigonometric curves in Cartesian coordinates and can be represented as NURBS. From the relationship existing with the correspondent curves in Cartesian coordinates an alternative way to derive some useful tools for modelling splines in polar coordinates has been pr...

We investigate C1-smooth univariate curvature-based cubic L1 interpolating splines in Cartesian and polar coordinates. The coefficients of these splines are calculated by minimizing the L1 norm of curvature. We compare these curvature-based cubic L1 splines with second-derivative-based cubic L1 splines and with cubic L2 splines based on the L2 norm of curvature and of the second derivative. In ...

متن کاملComparing different stimulus configurations for population receptive field mapping in human fMRI
Population receptive field (pRF) mapping is a widely used approach to measuring aggregate human visual receptive field properties by recording non-invasive signals using functional MRI. Despite growing interest, no study to date has systematically investigated the effects of different stimulus configurations on pRF estimates from human visual cortex. Here we compared the effects of three differ...
متن کاملHomogeneous Simplex Splines
Homogeneous simplex splines, also known as cone splines or mul-tivariate truncated power functions, are discussed from a perspective of homogeneous divided diierences and polar forms. This makes it possible to derive the basic properties of these splines in a simple and economic way. In addition, a construction of spaces of homogeneous simplex splines is considered, which in the non-homogeneous...
