Blending Surfaces by Smoothing Pde Splines
نویسنده
چکیده
This work is concerned with how we can mix conditions of both interpolation and approximation in order to find a blending surface joining two or more surfaces when approximating a given data point set, and modelled from a certain partial differential equation. We establish a variational characterization for the solution of this problem and we establish some convergence result. Finally, we discretize this problem in a finite element space.

B Ivariate Approximation by Discrete Smoothing Pde Splines
This paper deals with the construction and characterization of discrete PDE splines. For this purpose, we need a PDE equation (usually an elliptic PDE), certain boundary conditions and a set of points to approximate. We give two results about the convergence of a discrete PDE spline to a function of a fixed space in two different cases: (1) when the approximation points are fixed; (2) when the ...
متن کاملNew Proof of Dimension Formula of Spline Spaces over T-meshes via Smoothing Cofactors ∗1)
T-meshes are formed by a set of horizontal line segments and a set of vertical line segments, where T-junctions are allowed. See Figure 1 for examples. Traditional tensor-product B-spline functions, which are a basic tool in the design of freeform surfaces, are defined over special T-meshes, where no T-junctions appear. B-spline surfaces have the drawback that arises from the mathematical prope...
متن کاملDynamic Contour Modeling of Wet Material Objects by Periodic Smoothing Splines
We present a new scheme for modeling the contour of wet material objects by employing optimal design of periodic smoothing spline surfaces. The surfaces are constructed using normalized uniform B-splines as the basis functions, namely as weighted sum of shifted bi-variable B-splines. Then a central issue is to determine an optimal matrix of the so-called control points. A concise representation...
متن کاملGenerating Bézier Surfaces Based on 8th-order PDE
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 کاملRapid Generation of C2 Continuous Blending Surfaces
Most surface-blending methods are able to blend surfaces with tangent continuity. However, curvature continuity has become increasingly important in geometric modelling and its applications, such as computer animation, computer-aided design and virtual reality. In this paper, we present a method which is able to achieve 2 C continuity based on the use of partial differential equations (PDE). A ...
