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...

Voronoi diagram computations for planar NURBS curves
We present robust and efficient algorithms for computing Voronoi diagrams of planar freeform curves. Boundaries of the Voronoi diagram consist of portions of the bisector curves b...

Watertight trimmed NURBS
This paper addresses the long-standing problem of the unavoidable gaps that arise when expressing the intersection of two NURBS surfaces using conventional trimmed-NURBS represent...

Degree Reduction for NURBS Symbolic Computation on Curves
Symbolic computation of NURBS plays an important role in many areas of NURBS-based geometric computation and design. However, any nontrivial symbolic computation, especially when ...

A Shape-Preserving Data Embedding Algorithm for NURBS Curves and Surfaces
Existing data embedding algorithms for polygonal meshes and their attributes can't be applied to the majority of (geometric) computer aided design (CAD) applications, for two...
