A note on the paper "Normal based subdivision scheme for curve design" by Xunnian Yang
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a recent paper (Computer Aided Geometric Design 23 (3), 243–260), Yang presented a novel kind of nonlinear and geometry driven subdivision scheme for curve interpolation. The author declared that this scheme was shape preserving when all free parameters were explicitly selected by some specific rules. In this note, we demonstrate that the author (a) ignored the consistency of the definition to straight edges, and also (b) did not give a perfect scheme and proof for the shape preserving subdivision. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Normal based subdivision scheme for curve design
In this paper we propose a new kind of nonlinear and geometry driven subdivision scheme for curve interpolation. Instead of using linear combination of old vertexes, displacement vector for every new vertex is given by normal vectors at old vertexes. The normal vectors are computed adaptively for each time of subdivision, and the limit curve is G1 smooth with wide ranges of free parameters. Wit...
متن کاملSurface interpolation of meshes by geometric subdivision
Subdivision surfaces are generated by repeated approximation or interpolation from initial control meshes. In this paper two new nonlinear subdivision schemes, face based subdivision scheme and normal based subdivision scheme, are introduced for surface interpolation of triangular meshes. With a given coarse mesh more and more details will be added to the surface when the triangles have been sp...
متن کاملVariational surface design under normal field guidance
This paper proposes a novel method for shape design of a Bézier surface with given boundary curves. The surface is defined as the minimizer of an extended membrane functional or an extended thin plate functional under the guidance of a specified normal field together with an initial prescribed surface. For given boundary curves and the guiding normal field, the free coefficients of a Bézier sur...
متن کاملMatrix weighted rational curves and surfaces
Rational curves and surfaces are powerful tools for shape representation and geometric modeling. However, the real weights are generally difficult to choose except for a few special cases such as representing conics. This paper presents an extension of rational curves and surfaces by replacing the real weights with matrices. The matrix weighted rational curves and surfaces have the same structu...
متن کاملCurvature tensor computation by piecewise surface interpolation
Estimating principal curvatures and principal directions of a smooth surface represented by a triangular mesh is an important step in many CAD or graphics related tasks. This paper presents a new method for curvature tensor estimation on a triangular mesh by replacing flat triangles with triangular parametric patches. An improved local interpolation scheme of cubic triangular Bézier patches to ...
