Approximating Digital Shapes by Parametric Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for parametrizing discrete points sampled from a smooth shape and fitting a rational Gaussian surface to the points with a required accuracy is presented. With the proposed method, a very complex shape can be represented by a single surface, and the surface can be rendered at a desired level of detail by adjusting a smoothness parameter.

A classical issue in many applied \elds is to obtain an approximating surface to a given set of data points. Yis problem arises in Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), virtual reality, medical imaging, computer graphics, computer animation, and many others. Very o_en, the preferred approximating surface is polynomial, usually described in parametric form. Yis leads to the problem ...
متن کاملLinear Approximation of Trimmed Surfaces
Parametric surfaces in various representations, such as Bézier-and B-spline-tensorproduct patches, triangular patches etc., play an important role in CAGD-applications. Connecting patches with different degree of continuity and trimming surfaces are well-known techniques to construct a variety of shapes like ship hulls, car bodies, etc. For finite element analysis, stereolithography, rendering ...
متن کاملOn Two Methods for Approximating Minimal Surfaces in Parametric Form
Two methods for approximating minimal surfaces in parametric form are considered. One minimizes the area of the surface, and the other the energy of the surface. The convergence of the algorithm of the first method is proved. The application of the second method to the approximation of conformai maps is examined. Several examples of computations are given.
متن کاملDelta Complexes in Digital Images. Approximating Image Object Shapes
In a computational topology of digital images, simplexes are replaced by Delta sets in approximating image object shapes. For simplicity, simplexes and Delta sets are restricted to the Euclidean plane. A planar simplex is either a vertex, a line segment or a filled triangle. In this study of image shapes, a planar Delta set is a sequence of ordered simplicial complexes. The basic approach is to...

This paper presents a new approach to 3D shape representation { approximating the shapes of object parts by a set of prescribed volumetric models using single-and multi-view range data. We deene a new set of volumetric part models , called parametric geons. These are seven qualitative shapes, each of which is formulated by a restricted globally-deformed superellipsoid. Model recovery is perform...
