Approximate Rational Parameterization of Implicitly Defined Surfaces

چکیده
We present a method for approximate rational parameterization of algebraic surfaces of arbitrary degree and genus (or more general implicitly defined surfaces), based on numerical optimization techniques. The method computes patches of maximal size on these surfaces subject to certain quality constraints. It can be used to generate local low degree approximations and rational approximations of non-parameterisable surfaces.

Automatic parameterization of rational curves and surfaces III: Algebraic plane curves
We consider algorithms to compute the genus and rational parametric equations, for implicitly defined irreducible rational plane algebraic curves of arbitrary degree. Rational panuneterizations exist for all irreducible algebraic curves of genus O. The genus is compuled by a complete analysis of the singularities of plane algebraic curves, using affine quadratic transformations. The rational pa...
متن کاملAn Evolution-Based Approach for Approximate Parameterization of Implicitly Defined Curves by Polynomial Parametric Spline Curves
We propose a novel approach for the approximate parameterization of an implicitly defined curve in the plane by polynomial parametric spline curves. The method generates the parameterization of the curve (which may consist of several open and closed branches) without using any a priori information about its topology. If needed the topology of the approximate parameterization can be certified ag...
متن کاملRecognizing implicitly given rational canal surfaces
It is still a challenging task of today to recognize the type of a given algebraic surface which is described only by its implicit representation. In this paper we will investigate in more detail the case of canal surfaces that are often used in geometric modelling, Computer-Aided Design and technical practice (e.g. as blending surfaces smoothly joining two parts with circular ends). It is know...
متن کاملAn Improved N-dimensional NURBs-based Metamodel
Non Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBs) are proved to be very promising for metamodeling in engineering problems, because they have unique properties such as local modification scheme, strong convex hull property, and infinitely differentiability, etc. Since NURBs are defined by control points, knot vector, and weights associated with control points, the precision of NURBs is influenced by all o...
متن کاملFat Arcs for Implicitly Defined Curves
We present an algorithm generating a collection of fat arcs which bound the zero set of a given bivariate polynomial in Bernstein– Bézier representation. We demonstrate the performance of the algorithm (in particular the convergence rate) and we apply the results to the computation of intersection curves between implicitly defined algebraic surfaces and rational parametric surfaces.
