✦ Synopsis

In the generation of curved surfaces through a subdivision process, Sabin and Doo applied and extended Chaikin's algorithm to three dimensions by using linear combinations of the vertices of a polyhedron. A similar smoothing subdivision algorithm was brought out by Catmull and Clark. This paper describes an alternative algorithm which uses a similar approach but applies to sections of axisymmetric objects. It shows that axisymmetric free-formed surfaces can be generated easily and efficiently.

In this article we present a computationally efficient subdivision algorithm for the evaluation of generalized Bernstein-Bézier curves. As particular cases we have subdivision algorithms for classical as well as trigonometric Bernstein-Bézier curves.

Current terrain modelling algorithms are not capable of reconstructing 3D surfaces, but are restricted to so-called 2.5D surfaces: for one planimetric position only one height may exist. The objective of this paper is to extend terrain relief modelling to 3D. In a 3D terrain model overhangs and cave
