Morphing Rational B-spline Curves and Surfaces Using Mass Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rational B-spline curve or surface is a collection of points associated with a mass (weight) distribution. These mass distributions can be used to exert local control over the morph between two rational B-spline curves or surfaces. Here we propose a technique for designing customized morphs by attaching appropriate mass distributions to target B-spline curves and surfaces. We also develop a user interface for this morphing method that is easy to use and requires no knowledge of B-splines on the part of the designer.

Physics-Based B-spline Morphing
This paper presents a new method for automatically generating a transition between two given B-spline curves or surfaces. Rather than treating the curves or surfaces as purely geometric objects, we distribute mass, damping, elasticity onto them. For elastic objects, morphing can be formulated as a boundary-valued problem of ordinary differential equations. By using Modal Analysis, the boundary-...
متن کاملConstruction of Non-Uniform Basic Functions for Spline Curves and Surfaces
Non-uniform basis functions for construction of interpolating and approximating spline curves and surfaces are presented. The construction is based on the theory of B-splines and enables a continuous change from interpolation to approximation of given data. It is also possible to change the tension of the curves and surfaces.
متن کاملExploring Expo-Rational B-splines for Curves and Surfaces
We introduce expo-rational B-splines for curves and surfaces and explore for the first time some properties of these new splines which depend not only on their knot vector but also on their intrinsic parameters and the geometry and parametrization of the local curves/surfaces. We consider several examples, discuss some computational aspects, and address potential applications in shape design. §

متن کاملModelling of curves and surfaces in polarand
A new class of spline curves in polar coordinates has been presented in (SS anchez-Reyes, 1992) and independently considered in (de Casteljau, 1994). These are rational trigonometric curves in Cartesian coordinates and can be represented as NURBS. From the relationship existing with the correspondent curves in Cartesian coordinates an alternative way to derive some useful tools for modelling sp...
