چکیده
This document has four purposes. it is a tutorial in parametric curve and surface representations, it describes a number of algorithms for generating both shaded and line-drawn pictures of bivariate surfaces and trivariate volumes, it explicitly gives transformations between all of the widely used curve and surface representations, and it proposes a solution to the problem of displaying the results of three-dimensional flow-field calculations.

Parametric Surface Rendering
Parametric surface [Fari02] is a surface defined by a tensor-product of parametric curves, which are represented by parametric equations. As such surface comes with a well defined mathematical definition, it becomes one of the most common geometric tools for computer-aided geometric design and object modeling aids for many computer graphics applications. Typical examples of such surface include...
متن کاملThe Emergence of Algebraic Curves and Surfaces in Geometric Design
This paper highlights algebraic curves and surfaces and illustrates its use in geometric design applications. It contrasts the implicit and parametric representations for algorithms in Geometric Modelling, Scattered Data fitting and Computer Graphics/Mesh Generation. In this framework the choice of which of the two representations to use is determined entirely by the desired optimality of the g...
متن کاملAlgebraic pruning: a fast technique for curve and surface intersection
Computing the intersection of parametric and algebraic curves and surfaces is a fun damental problem in computer graphics and geometric modeling This problem has been extensively studied in the literature and di erent techniques based on subdivision interval analysis and algebraic formulation are known For low degree curves and surfaces algebraic methods are considered to be the fastest whereas...
متن کاملThe intersection problems of parametric curve and surfaces by means of matrix based implicit representations
In this paper, we introduce and study a new implicit representation of parametric curves and parametric surfaces . We show how these representations which we will call the matrix implied, establish a bridge between geometry and linear algebra, thus opening the possibility of a more robust digital processing. The contribution of this approach is discussed and illustrated on important issues of g...
متن کاملOn geometric interpolation of parametric surfaces
By exploiting the freedom in the choice of parametrization of a parametric surface, we show that there exist quadratic parametric surfaces that approximate a given parametric surface with the same approximation order as cubics, namely four, in the neighbourhood of a point where the Gaussian curvature of the surface is nonzero. This provides a first generalization to surfaces of earlier work for...
