The minimum distance computation problem between two surfaces is very important in many applications such as robotics, CAD/CAM and computer graphics. Given two implicit algebraic ...
Deformable 3–D models can be represented either as explicit or implicit surfaces. Explicit surfaces, such as triangulations or wire-frame models, are widely accepted in the Comp...
A method is proposed for performing shape analysis of m-surfaces, e.g. planar curves and surfaces, with a geometric interpretation. The analysis uses an implicit surface represent...
Given a smooth surface, a blue (red) ridge is a curve such that at each of its points, the maximum (minimum) principal curvature has an extremum along its curvature line. Ridges a...
Abstract We describe a method to approximate a segment of the intersection curve of two implicitly defined surfaces by a rational parametric curve. Starting from an initial soluti...
