The authors define fairness mathematically, demonstrate how newly developed curve and surface schemes guarantee fairness, and assist the user in identifying and removing shape aberrations in a surface model without destroying the principal shape characteristics of the model. A valuable resource for engineers working in CAD, CAM, or computer-aided engineering.
This collection of ideas and results on topics of curve and surface design is intended for research in the academic environment as well as for practical use in industrial applications. Main emphasis is on minimal energy splines and geometric spline curves, and on techniques beyond tensor product surfaces.
Two new volumes of carefully refereed and edited papers on the most current developments in the theory and applications of curves and surfaces. These two volumes contain a selection of papers presented at the Saint-Malo Conference on Approximation Theory in July 1999. Each contains several invited survey papers written by experts in the field, along with contributed research papers. They will be of great interest to mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists working in the fields of Approximation Theory, Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD), Computer Graphics, Numerical Analysis, CAD/CAM, and application areas. Curve and Surface Design includes the following topics: B-bases canal surfaces conics curvature discrete fairing free form surfaces G2-splines highlight lines involute curves multisided patches NURBs and NURPs offsets ray tracing ruled surfaces sculptured surfaces segmentation methods shape preservation texture voronoi diagrams
This books brings together recent research results in the design and use of curve and surface methods, as applied to engineering design and analysis problems, and as used by computer vision scientists for description of image scene features. Contributions are from both academics andindustrialists, and range from pure mathematics to experiences with the use of surface representations, including mathematics of surfaces, surface modelling, curves and curve modelling, and computer vision applications.
This book contains various types of mathematical descriptions of curves and surfaces, such as Ferguson, Coons, Spline, Bézier and B-spline curves and surfaces. The materials are classified and arranged in a unified way so that beginners can easily understand the whole spectrum of parametric curves and surfaces. This book will be useful to many researchers, designers, teachers, and students who are working on curves and surfaces. The book can be used as a textbook in computer aided design classes.
A leading expert in CAGD, Gerald Farin covers the representation, manipulation, and evaluation of geometric shapes in this the Third Edition of Curves and Surfaces for Computer Aided Geometric Design. The book offers an introduction to the field that emphasizes Bernstein-Bezier methods and presents subjects in an informal, readable style, making this an ideal text for an introductory course at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level. The Third Edition includes a new chapter on Topology, offers new exercises and sections within most chapters, combines the material on Geometric Continuity into one chapter, and updates existing materials and references. Implementation techniques are addressed for practitioners by the inclusion of new C programs for many of the fundamental algorithms. The C programs are available on a disk included with the text. System Requirements: IBM PC or compatibles, DOS version 2.0 or higher. Covers representation, manipulation, and evaluation of geometric shapes Emphasizes Bernstein-Bezier methods Written in an informal, easy-to-read style
