Missing sets in rational parametrizations of surfaces of revolution

چکیده
Parametric representations do not cover, in general, the whole geometric object that they parametrize. This can be a problem in practical applications. In this paper we analyze the question for surfaces of revolution generated by real rational profile curves, and we describe a simple small superset of the real zone of the surface not covered by the parametrization. This superset consists, in the worst case, of the union of a circle and the mirror curve of the profile curve.

Rational Offset Surfaces and Their Modeling Applications
This survey discusses rational surfaces with rational offset surfaces in Euclidean 3-space. These surfaces can be characterized by possessing a field of rational unit normal vectors, and are called Pythagorean normal surfaces. The procedure of offsetting curves and surfaces is present in most modern 3d-modeling tools. Since piecewise polynomial and rational surfaces are the standard representat...
متن کاملRational Parametrizations of Real Cubic Surfaces
Real cubic algebraic surfaces may be described by either implicit or parametric equations. Each of these representations has strengths and weaknesses and have been used extensively in computer graphics. Applications involving both representations include the efficient computation of surface intersections, and triangulation of curved surfaces. One particularly useful representation is the ration...
متن کاملA Laguerre geometric approach to rational offsets
Laguerre geometry provides a simple approach to the design of rational curves and surfaces with rational offsets. These so-called PH curves and PN surfaces can be constructed from arbitrary rational curves or surfaces with help of a geometric transformation which describes a change between two models of Laguerre geometry. Closely related to that is their optical interpretation as anticaustics o...
متن کاملA Natural Parameterization of the Roulettes of the Conics Generating the Delaunay Surfaces
Communicated by John Oprea Abstract. We derive parametrizations of the Delaunay constant mean curvature surfaces of revolution that follow directly from parametrizations of the conics that generate these surfaces via the corresponding roulette. This uniform treatment exploits the natural geometry of the conic (parabolic, elliptic or hyperbolic) and leads to simple expressions for the mean and G...
متن کاملRational Families of Conics and Quadrics
A surface generated by a one parameter family of conics c(t) is called conic surface. If c(t) can be described by rational functions, the generated conic surface is rational. An algorithm to construct real rational parametrizations for such surfaces and some examples will be given.
