An algorithmic approach to degree reduction of B-spline curves is presented. The method consists of the following steps: (a) decompose the B-spline curve into Btzier pieces on the fly, (b) degree reduce each Btzier piece, and (c) remove the unnecessary knots. A complete algorithm and precise error

A useful and simple algorithm is presented for interactively generating B-spline interpolation curves and surfaces from B-spline approximation solutions. The difference between the data points and the B-spline approximation is used to modify the control vertices in order to generate a succession of

This paper briefly outlines the design' and application of two potential display processor components in future computeraided design systems. Most of the applications derive from the high-speed graphics facilities with automatic hidden-line" removal -however some depend on an overlap testing procedu
