Skeching Free-form Surfaces Using Network of Curves

چکیده
This work addresses the issue of generating free-form surfaces using a 2D sketch interface. As the first step in this process, we develop a methodology to sketch 3D space curves from 2D sketches. Since the inverse projection from 2D sketches to 3D curve or surface is a one to many function, there is no unique solution. Hence we propose to interpret the given 2D curve to be the projection of the 3D curve that has minimum curvature among all the candidates in 3D. We present an algorithm to efficiently find a close approximation of this minimum curvature 3D space curve. In the second step, this network of curves along with the boundary information are given to the surface fitting method to generate a free-form surfaces.

متن کاملDynamic Evaluation of Free-Form Curves and Surfaces
Free-form curves and surfaces represented by control points together with well-defined basis functions are widely used in computer aided geometric design. Efficient evaluation of points and derivatives of free-form curves and surfaces plays an important role in interactive rendering or CNC machining. In this paper we show that free-form curves with properly defined basis functions are the solut...
متن کاملGlobal Visibility and Hidden Surface Removal Algorithms for Free Form Surfaces
Computing the visible portions of free-form surfaces from a given viewpoint is of great interest in many applications. It is closely related to the hidden surface removal problem in computer graphics and machining applications in manufacturing. Most of the earlier work has focused on discrete methods based on polygonization or ray-tracing, hidden curve removals and local visibility computations...
متن کاملEstimating and modeling monthly mean daily global solar radiation on horizontal surfaces using artificial neural networks
In this study, an artificial neural network based model for prediction of solar energy potential in Kerman province in Iran has been developed. Meteorological data of 12 cities for period of 17 years (1997–2013) and solar radiation for five cities around and inside Kerman province from the Iranian Meteorological Office data center were used for the training and testing the network. Meteorologic...
متن کاملConstraint Modeling for Curves and Surfaces in CAGD
Even if Computer-Aided Geometric Design modelers are now based on powerful mathematical models for curves and surfaces, there are important needs for tools to create, analyze and modify these objects. Designing product shapes with free-form curves and surfaces is still a tedious task and modifying the shape obtained is even more difficult and, most of the time, needs recreating a part up to the...
