Parameterization and applications of Catmull-Rom curves
The behavior of Catmull-Rom curves heavily depends on the choice of parameter values at the control points. We analyze a class of parameterizations ranging from uniform to chordal...

Principal curvature ridges and geometrically salient regions of parametric B-spline surfaces
Ridges are characteristic curves of a surface that mark salient intrinsic features of its shape and are therefore valuable for shape matching, surface quality control, visualizati...

Computing the minimum enclosing sphere of free-form hypersurfaces in arbitrary dimensions
The problem of computing the minimum enclosing sphere (MES) of a point set is a classical problem in Computational Geometry. As an LP-type problem, its expected running time on th...

Smooth Bi-3 spline surfaces with fewest knots
Converting a quadrilateral input mesh into a C1 surface with one bi-3 tensorproduct spline patch per facet is a classical challenge. We give explicit local averaging formulas for ...
