Fairing Spatial B-spline Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three-dimensional curves are playing an increasing role in ship-hull modeling and many other areas of computer-aided design (CAD). The problem of evaluating and improving the fairness of such a curve is considered and three solutions (algorithms) are proposed representing all major methodologies currently pursued by CAD researchers: local fairing by knot removal, and local/global fairing based on “energy” minimization. The performance of the algorithms is studied for both cubic and quintic B-splines using realistic test-cases. Finally, a comparison with existing techniques is presented and some visualization tools for spatial-curve fairing are briefly discussed.

Local Energy Fairing of B-spline Curves
An automatic algorithm for fairing B-spline curves of general order is presented. This work was motivated by a method of Farin and Sapidis about fairing planar cubic B-spline curves by subsequently removing and reinserting knots. Instead our new algorithm is based on the idea of subsequently changing one control point of a given B-spline curve so that the new curve minimizes the integral of the...
متن کاملFast and Local Fairing of B-Spline Curves and Surfaces
The paper proposes a fast fairing algorithm for curves and surfaces. It rst de nes a base algorithm for fairing curves, which is then extended to the surface case, where the isocurves of the surface are faired. The curve fairing process involves the discrete integration of a pseudo-arc-length parameterization of B-spline curves, with a blending and tting phase concluding the algorithm. In the c...
متن کاملStitching B - Spline Curves Symbolically Stitching B - spline
Stitching or merging B-spline curves is a frequently used technique in geometric modeling, and is usually implemented in CAD-systems. These algorithms are basically numerical interpolations using the least squares method. The problem, how to replace two or more curves which are generated separately and defined as B-spline curves, has well functioning numerical solutions, therefore, relatively f...
متن کاملAutomatic Fairing of Two-parameter Rational B-spline Motion
This paper deals with the problem of automatic fairing of two-parameter B-Spline spherical and spatial motions. The concept of two-parameter freeform motions brings together the notion of the analytically determined two-parameter motions in Theoretical Kinematics and the concept of freeform surfaces in the field of Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD). A dual quaternion representation of spat...
متن کاملTarget Curvature Based Automatic Fairing of Planar B-Spline Curves
A new automatic local fairing technique for planar B-spline curves is presented in this paper. According to the design intent, a target curvature plot, which is provided by the designer, is used to identify ‘bad’ points and ‘bad’ curve segments. Then, the corresponding control points are modified in a process of local constrained optimization where the importance of fairness in the sense of ene...
