Almost rotation-minimizing rational parametrization of canal surfaces
Almost rotation minimizing parametrization of the canal surface is given. The basic building block of our approach is the curve approximation scheme that enables us to construct a...

Clifford algebra, Lorentzian geometry, and rational parametrization of canal surfaces
We present a new approach toward the rational parametrization of canal surfaces. According to our previous work, every canal surface with rational (respectively polynomial)spine c...

The implicit equation of a canal surface
A canal surface is an envelope of a one parameter family of spheres. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for computing the implicit equation of a canal surface generat...
