โฆ Synopsis
Variable-radius offset parametric curves and surfaces are defined. The envelopes of these variable offset parametric curves and surfaces are computed explicitly. It is shown that in each case the equations for the envelope surfaces reduce: to the familiar offset equations for parametric nerves when the radius of the offsets arc constant. Some examples are given.

This paper presents algorithms for computing offsets of NURBS curves and surfaces. The basic approach consists of four steps: (1) recognition of special curves and surfaces; (2) sampling the offset curve or surface based on bounds on second derivatives; (3) interpolating these points; and (4) removi
We present a new approach to medial axis transform and offset curve computation. Our algorithm is based on the domain decomposition scheme which reduces a complicated domain into a union of simple subdomains each of which is very easy to handle. This domain decomposition approach gives rise to the d
This paper presents an algorithm of modifying free-formed NURBS curve/surface for offsetting without local self-intersecting. The method consists of (1) sampling a number of points from a progenitor curve/surface based on second derivatives; (2) checking the curvature or maximum curvature of the pro
