PARAMETRIZATION AND SHAPE RECONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR DOO-SABIN SUBDIVISION SURFACES

This thesis presents a new technique for the reconstruction of a smooth surface from a set of 3D data points. The reconstructed surface is represented by an everywhere -continuous subdivision surface which interpolates all the given data points. And the topological structure of the reconstructed surface is exactly the same as that of the data points. The new technique consists of two major steps. First, use an efficient surface reconstruction method to produce a polyhedral approximation to the given data points. Second, construct a Doo-Sabin subdivision surface that smoothly passes through all the data points in the given data set. A new technique is presented for the second step in this thesis. The new technique iteratively modifies the vertices of the polyhedral approximation 1CM until a new control meshM, whose Doo-Sabin subdivision surface interpolatesM, is reached. It is proved that, for any mesh M with any size and any topology, the iterative process is always convergent with Doo-Sabin subdivision scheme. The new technique has the advantages of both a local method and a global method, and the surface reconstruction process can reproduce special features such as edges and corners faithfully

Data Visualization Using Rational Trigonometric Spline

This paper describes the use of trigonometric spline to visualize the given planar data. The goal of this work is to determine the smoothest possible curve that passes through its data points while simultaneously satisfying the shape preserving features of the data. Positive, monotone, and constrained curve interpolating schemes, by using

Visualization Of Curve And Surface Data Using Rational Cubic Ball Functions

This study considered the problem of shape preserving interpolation through regular data using rational cubic Ball which is an alternative scheme for rational Bézier functions. A rational Ball function with shape parameters is easy to implement because of its less degree terms at the end polynomial compared to rational Bézier functions. In order to understand the behavior of shape parameters (weights), we need to discuss shape control analysis which can be used to modify the shape of a curve, locally and globally. This issue has been discovered and brought to the study of conversion between Ball and Bézier curve
