The paper presents pseudocode aloorithms, c-lanouaoe code, and error analysis for removino knots from rational B-spline curves and surfaces. Efficient and easy-to-use aloorithms are presented that, with one call, remove all the removable knots from a B-spline curve or surface.
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 proposes an algorithm for calculating the orthogonal projection of parametric curves onto B-spline surfaces. It consists of a second order tracing method with which we construct a polyline to approximate the pre-image curve of the orthogonal projection curve in the parametric domain of th
