Mean Value Bézier Surfaces

چکیده
Bézier surfaces are an important design tool in Computer Aided Design. They are parameterized surfaces where the parameterization can be represented as a homogeneous polynomial in barycentric coordinates. Usually, Wachspress coordinates are used to obtain tensor product Bézier surfaces over rectangular domains. Recently, Floater introduced mean value coordinates as an alternative to Wachspress coordinates. When used to construct Bézier patches, they offer additional control points without raising the polynomial degree. We investigate the potential of mean value coordinates to design mean value Bézier surfaces.

Mean Value Bézier Maps
Bernstein polynomials are a classical tool in Computer Aided Design to create smooth maps with a high degree of local control. They are used for the construction of Bézier surfaces, free-form deformations, and many other applications. However, classical Bernstein polynomials are only defined for simplices and parallelepipeds. These can in general not directly capture the shape of arbitrary obje...
متن کاملApproximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces
An attractive method for approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces is introduced. The main result is that the arbitrary given order derived vectors of a polynomial triangular surface converge uniformly to those of the approximated rational triangular Bézier surface as the elevated degree tends to infinity. The polynomial triangular surface is con...

This paper presents a general 8th-order PDE method to generate Bézier surfaces from the boundary with position and tangent vector information. We extend the work on generating biharmonic Bézier surfaces by Monterde to generating Bézier surfaces based on a general 4th-order PDE. And further the results are extended to generate tetraharmonic Bézier surfaces by a general 8th-order PDE. The solutio...
متن کاملBezier curves and surfaces based on modified Bernstein polynomials
. Parametric curves are represented using these modified Bernstein basis and the concept of total positivity is applied to investigate the shape properties of the curve. We get Bézier curve defined on [0, 1] when we set the parameter α, β to the value 0. We also present a de Casteljau algorithm to compute Bernstein Bézier curves and surfaces with shifted knots. The new curves have some properti...
