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
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
