An Appropriate Geometric Invariant for the C 2-Analysis of Subdivision Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce the embedded Weingarten map as a geometric invariant of piecewise smooth surfaces. It is given by a (3 × 3)-matrix and provides complete curvature information in a continuous way. Thus, it is the appropriate tool for the C-analysis of subdivision surfaces near extraordinary points. We derive asymptotic expansions and show that the convergence of the sequence of embedded Weingarten maps to a constant limit is necessary and sufficient for curvature continuity.

REVERSE LOOP SUBDIVISION FOR GEOMETRY AND TEXTURES
Reverse subdivision aims at constructing a coarser representation of an object given by a fine polygon mesh. In this paper, we first derive a mask for reverse Loop subdivision that can be applied to both regular and extraordinary vertices. The mask is parameterized, and thus can also be used in reversing variants of Loop subdivision, such as those proposed by Warren and Litke. We apply this mas...
متن کاملDesigning composite triangular subdivision schemes
The paper iterates on the observation made independently by several groups of authors that building subdivision schemes out of simple, very local and geometrically invariant averaging rules is convenient both from a theoretical and practical point of view. We review the benefits of this approach with special emphasis on the smoothness analysis of the limit surfaces, derive certain guidelines fo...
متن کاملBoundary Control of Subdivision Surfaces Using an Open Uniform Quadratic Subdivision Scheme
The ability to control boundary behaviors is critical for the subdivision surface to become a useful representation in computer aided geometric design. Previous methods achieve boundary control by extending the boundary vertices of the control mesh, or by applying different subdivision rules to the boundary edges and vertices. This paper presents an open uniform quadratic subdivision scheme der...
متن کاملAnalyzing midpoint subdivision
Midpoint subdivision generalizes the Lane-Riesenfeld algorithm for uniform tensor product splines and can also be applied to non regular meshes. For example, midpoint subdivision of degree 2 is a specific Doo-Sabin algorithm and midpoint subdivision of degree 3 is a specific Catmull-Clark algorithm. In 2001, Zorin and Schröder were able to prove C1-continuity for midpoint subdivision surfaces a...
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.
