Approximate computation of curves on B-spline surfaces
Curves on surfaces play an important role in computer-aided geometric design. Because of the considerably high degree of exact curves on surfaces, approximation algorithms are pre...

Computing offsets of NURBS curves and surfaces
This paper presents algorithms for computing offsets of NURBS curves and surfaces. The basic approach consists of four steps: (1) recognition of special curves and surfaces; (2) s...

Curves and surfaces represented by polynomial support functions
This paper studies shapes (curves and surfaces) which can be described by (piecewise) polynomial support functions. The class of these shapes is closed under convolutions, offsett...

Approximation with Active B-Spline Curves and Surfaces
An active contour model for parametric curve and surface approximation is presented. The active curve or surface adapts to the model shape to be approximated in an optimization al...
