Toric Surface Patches
نویسنده
چکیده
We define a toric surface patch associated with a convex polygon, which has vertices with integer coordinates. This rational surface patch naturally generalizes classical Bézier surfaces. Several features of toric patches are considered: affine invariance, convex hull property, boundary curves, implicit degree and singular points. The method of subdivision into tensor product surfaces is introduced. Fundamentals of a multidimensional variant of this theory are also developed.

Implicitizing Bi-Cubic Toric Surfaces by Dixon? - Resultant Quotients
Toric surface patches have two significant geometric properties: they are multi-sided and they are generalizations of both the triangular and rectangular Bezier surface patches. They also have a very nice algebraic property: their implicit equations are closely related to the Dixon determinant. In particular, for bi-cubic toric patches without base points, their implicit equation can always be ...
متن کاملInjectivity of 2D Toric Bézier Patches
Rational Bézier functions are widely used as mapping functions in surface reparameterization, finite element analysis, image warping and morphing. The injectivity (one-toone property) of a mapping function is typically necessary for these applications. Toric Bézier patches are generalizations of classical patches (triangular, tensor product) which are defined on the convex hull of a set of inte...
متن کاملLinear Precision for Toric Surface Patches
We classify the homogeneous polynomials in three variables whose toric polar linear system defines a Cremona transformation. This classification includes, as a proper subset, the classification of toric surface patches from geometric modeling which have linear precision. Besides the well-known tensor product patches and Bézier triangles, we identify a family of toric patches with trapezoidal sh...
متن کاملBézier patches on almost toric surfaces
The paper is devoted to the parametrization extension problem: given a loop composed of 3 (resp. 4) rational Bézier curves on a rational surface X, find a triangular (resp. tensor product) Bézier patch on X of optimal degree bounded by these curves. The constructive solution to the formulated problem is presented in details for cases where X is a sphere or a hyperbolic paraboloid. Then X is an ...
متن کاملConstructing N-sided Toric Surface Patches from Boundary Curves ⋆
Constructing N -sided surface patches to fill holes plays an important role in Computer Aided Geometric Design. In this paper, we present a method to construct a single toric surface patch interpolating N -sided boundary curves. The control points of the patch are determined by the given boundary curves and energy optimization. The main advantage of the method is that the toric surface patch ca...
