Constructing Parametric Triangular Patches with Boundary Conditions

چکیده
The problem of constructing a parametric triangular patch to smoothly connect three surface patches is studied. Usually, these surface patches are defined on different parameter spaces. Therefore, it is necessary to define interpolation conditions, with values from the given surface patches, on the boundary of the triangular patch that can ensure smooth transition between different parameter spaces. In this paper we present a new method to define boundary conditions. Boundary conditions defined by the new method have the same parameter space if the three given surface patches can be converted into the same form through affine transformation. Consequently,any of the classic methods for constructing functional triangular patches can be used directly to construct a parametric triangular patch to connect the given surface patches with G1 continuity. The resulting parametric triangular patch preserves precision of the adopted classic method.

Subdivision Algorithms and Convexity Analysis for Rational Bézier Triangular Patches
Triangular surfaces are important because in areas where the geometry is not similar to rectangular domain, the rectangular surface patch will collapse into a triangular patch. In such a case, one boundary edge may collapse into a boundary vertex of the patch, giving rise to geometric dissimilarities (e.g. shape parameters, Gaussian curvature distribution, cross boundary continuities etc.) and ...

Given a nite curvilinear simplicial complex in R3, made up of properlyjoined parametric patches de ned in terms of control points, it is of interest to know under what conditions the complex will retain its original topological form when the control points are perturbed. For example, the patches might be triangular B ezier surface patches, and the complex may represent the boundary of a solid i...

A new method is presented for calculating N-sided surface patches. The algorithm generates a subdivision surface which satisses arbitrary C 1 boundary conditions. The proposed subdivision scheme is based on a Catmull-Clark type subdivision scheme that operates in the surface interior. Near the boundary we introduce new subdivision rules that involve the given boundary conditions. The generated ...
متن کاملConstruction and smoothing of triangular Coons patches with geodesic boundary curves
Given three regular space curves r1(t), r2(t) r3(t), t ∈ [ 0, 1 ] that define a curvilinear triangle, we consider the problem of constructing a C triangular surface patch R(u1, u2, u3) bounded by these three curves, such that they are geodesics of the constructed surface. Results from a prior study [6] concerned with tensor–product patches are adapted to identify constraints on the given curves...

Estimating principal curvatures and principal directions of a smooth surface represented by a triangular mesh is an important step in many CAD or graphics related tasks. This paper presents a new method for curvature tensor estimation on a triangular mesh by replacing flat triangles with triangular parametric patches.
