A Bound on the Implicit Degree of Polygonal B ezier Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent work has shown that the triangular rational B ezier surface representation can be used to create polygonal surface patches. The key to the construction is the judicious use of zero weights in creating the surface parameterization. These zero weights introduce base points into the resulting rational parameterizations. Base points also lower the degree of the implicit representation of these polygonal surface patches. This paper states and proves in a simple, constructive manner a bound on the implicit degree of rational surfaces created in this manner.

A Uni ed Approach for Hierarchical Adaptive Tesselation of Surfaces
The polygonization, or tesselation, of surfaces is a classical problem that has many practical applications in computer graphics and geometric modeling. The problem consists in computing a piecewise linear approximation for a smooth surface described either by parametric or implicit functions. A polygonal mesh is the one of the simplest forms of surface description and therefore is the represen...

Shaded display is popular for displaying curved surfaces because of the realistic appearance of the images produced. In the eld of computer aided geometric design, however, line drawings are more commonly used. For accurate evaluation of the curved surfaces in these designs, the conventional method of approximating curved surfaces with polygons is insu cient. In this paper we will present a met...

متن کاملRay Tracing Non-Polygonal Objects: Implementation and Performance Analysis using Embree
Free-form surfaces and implicit surfaces must be tessellated before being rendered with rasterization techniques. However ray tracing provides the means to directly render such objects without the need to first convert into polygonal meshes. Since ray tracing can handle triangle meshes as well, the question of which method is most suitable in terms of performance, quality and memory usage is ad...

We present an algorithm for interactive display of trimmed NURBS surfaces. The algorithm converts the NURBS surfaces to B ezier surfaces and NURBS trimming curves into B ezier curves. It tessellates each trimmed B ezier surface into triangles and renders them using the triangle rendering capabilities common in current graphics systems. It makes use of tight bounds for uniform tessel-lation of B...
