Revolute Quadric Decomposition of Canal Surfaces and Its Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surfaces subdivision is an important means for geometric computing of surfaces in CAD. This paper proposes a new quadric subdivision for canal surfaces in this paper, RQ-sphere decomposition, that subdivides canal surfaces as a set of truncated revolute quadric with joint spheres. Experimental results show that the RQ-sphere decomposition is better than existing methods.

L_1 operator and Gauss map of quadric surfaces
The quadrics are all surfaces that can be expressed as a second degree polynomialin x, y and z. We study the Gauss map G of quadric surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space R^3 with respect to the so called L_1 operator ( Cheng-Yau operator □) acting on the smooth functions defined on the surfaces. For any smooth functions f defined on the surfaces, L_f=tr(P_1o hessf), where P_1 is t...
متن کاملThe Kinematic Image of RR, PR, and RP Dyads
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for admissible transformations in the projectivised dual quaternion model of rigid body displacements and we characterise constraint varieties of dyads with revolute and prismatic joints in this model. Projective transformations induced by coordinate changes in moving and/or fixed frame fix the quadrics of a pencil and preserve the two families of ...
متن کاملMinimum distance between a canal surface and a simple surface
The computation of the minimum distance between two objects is an important problem in the applications such as haptic rendering, CAD/CAM, NC veri cation, robotics and computer graphics. This paper presents a method to compute the minimum distance between a canal surface and a simple surface (that is, a plane, a natural quadric, or a torus) by nding roots of a function of a single parameter. We...
متن کاملQuadric Rank Loci on Moduli of Curves and K3 Surfaces
Assuming that φ : Sym(E) → F is a morphism of vector bundles on a variety X, we compute the class of the locus in X where Ker(φ) contains a quadric of prescribed rank. Our formulas have many applications to moduli theory: (i) we find a simple proof of Borcherds’ result that the Hodge class on the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces of fixed genus is of Noether-Lefschetz type, (ii) we construc...
متن کاملThe Kinematic Image of 2R Dyads and Exact Synthesis of 5R Linkages
We characterise the kinematic image of the constraint variety of a 2R dyad as a regular ruled quadric in a three-space that contains a “null quadrilateral”. Three prescribed poses determine, in general, two such quadrics. This allows us to modify a recent algorithm for the synthesis of 6R linkages in such a way that two consecutive revolute axes coincide, thus producing a 5R linkage. Using the ...
