✦ Synopsis

Curves on surfaces are important elements in computer aided geometric design. After presenting a method to explicitly compute these curves in three-dimensions, practical algorithmic issues are discussed concerning the efficiency of the implementation. Good approximations are important because of the quite high degree of exact curves on surfaces. We present two approximate solutions to the problem. The first is derived from the exact representation, while the second extends conventional least-squares approximation by incorporating the geometry of the surface as well. The efficiency and behaviour of the algorithms are evaluated by means of examples.

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

Sections of parametric surfaces defined by equally spaced parameter values can be very unevenly spaced physically. This can cause practical problems when the surface is to be drawn or machined automatically. This paper describes a method for imposing a good parametrization on a curve constructed by

This paper compares two different ways of building B-spline curves and surfaces for even degree polynomial splines. Viewing these problems as digital filters, we find that one way gives better results than the other one. This paper is intended to be a reflection and a continuation of the paper "B-sp
