چکیده
Recursive evaluation procedures based on spherical linear interpolation and stationary subdivision algorithms based on geodesic midpoint averaging are used to construct the analogues on spheres of arbitrary dimension of Lagrange and Hermite interpolation and Bezier and B-spline approximation.

Hausdorff and Minimal Distances between Parametric Freeforms in R2 and R3
We present algorithms to derive the precise Hausdorff distance and/or the minimal distance between two freeform shapes, either curves or surfaces, in IR or IR. The events at which the Hausdorff/minimal distance can occur are identified and means to efficiently compute these events are presented. Examples are also shown and the extension to arbitrary dimensions is briefly discussed.
متن کاملGlobal Curve Analysis via a Dimensionality Lifting Scheme
Freeform rational parametric curves and surfaces have been playing a major role in computer aided design for several decades. The ability to analyze local (differential) properties of parametric curves is well established and extensively exploited. In this work, we explore a different lifting approach to global analysis of freeform geometry, mostly curves, in IR and IR. In this lifting scheme, ...
متن کاملA User Interface for Freeform Modeling Based on Convolution Surfaces from Sketched Silhouette Curves
Traditional 3D modeling systems are commonly intended for designing complicated and exact objects, but they are not always suitable for quick design of freeform shapes. It is because these systems are highly complex and user has to follow a long and tedious learning process before being able to create meaningful models. For these reasons, in recent years there have been many efforts in developi...
متن کاملGuided Trace and Stitch Modeling Using Multimodal Interaction
Freeform modeling is an integral part of the geometric modeling and design process. Existing freeform modeling systems expect the user to be familiar with the geometric representation and user interface in order to model precisely and rapidly. As a result, modeling complex freeform geometries precisely and rapidly can be quite difficult. In this thesis, we address the problems manifested in cur...
متن کاملFreeform surface induction from projected planar curves via neural networks
We propose a novel intelligent approach into 2D to 3D of on-line sketching in conceptual design. A Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network is employed to construct 3D freeform surfaces from 2D freehand curves. Planar curves were used to represent the boundary strokes of a freeform surface patch and varied iteratively to produce a training set. Sampled curves were used to train and test the n...
