Constructing Invariant Fairness Measures for Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper proposes a rational method to derive fairness measures for surfaces. It works in cases where isophotes, reflection lines, planar intersection curves, or other curves are used to judge the fairness of the surface. The surface fairness measure is derived by demanding that all the given curves should be fair with respect to an appropriate curve fairness measure. The method is applied to the field of ship hull design where the curves are plane intersections. The method is extended to the case where one considers, not the fairness of one curve, but the fairness of a one parameter family of curves. Six basic third order invariants by which the fairing measures can be expressed are defined. Furthermore, the geometry of a plane intersection curve is studied, and the variation of the total, the normal, and the geodesic curvature and the geodesic torsion is determined.

On Similarity-Invariant Fairness Measures
After introducing the basic principles behind the similarityinvariant smoothness measures for curves and surfaces, with references to the relevant literature, we discuss the ramifications of scale-invariance in various problems of image processing and analysis, and point out some unanswered questions.
متن کاملCoordinate finite type invariant surfaces in Sol spaces
In the present paper, we study surfaces invariant under the 1-parameter subgroup in Sol space $rm Sol_3$. Also, we characterize the surfaces in $rm Sol_3$ whose coordinate functions of an immersion of the surface are eigenfunctions of the Laplacian $Delta$ of the surface.
متن کاملTranslation invariant surfaces in the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group
In this paper, we study translation invariant surfaces in the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group $rm Nil_3$. In particular, we completely classify translation invariant surfaces in $rm Nil_3$ whose position vector $x$ satisfies the equation $Delta x = Ax$, where $Delta$ is the Laplacian operator of the surface and $A$ is a $3 times 3$-real matrix.
متن کاملSurface Construction Based on Variational Principles
Variational principles have become quite popular in the design of surfaces. The idea is to consider a class of surfaces having more degrees of freedom than are necessary to fullll the constraints (e. g. interpolation or boundary conditions). The remaining degrees of freedom are set by minimizing a fairness functional. The choice of thèright' fairness functional is a crucial step. In this paper ...
متن کاملVariational Design with Parametric Meshes of Arbitrary Topology
Many mathematical problems in geometric modeling are merely due to the di culties of handling piecewise polynomial parameterizations of surfaces (e.g., smooth connection of patches, evaluation of geometric fairness measures). Dealing with polygonal meshes is mathematically much easier although in nitesimal smoothness can no longer be achieved. However, transferring the notion of fairness to the...
