Dua skema interpolasi berparameter yang mengandungi interpolasi global untuk data tersebar am dan interpolasi pengekalan-kepositifan setempat data tersebar positif dibincangkan.
Two schemes of parametric interpolation consisting of a global scheme to interpolate general scattered data and a local positivity-preserving scheme to interpolate positive scattered data are described
Multisided generalisations of Gregory patches
We propose two generalisations of Gregory patches to faces of any valency by using generalised barycentric coordinates in combination with two kinds of multisided Bézier patches. Our first construction builds on S-patches to generalise triangular Gregory patches. The local construction of Chiyokura and Kimura providing G1 continuity between adjoining Bézier patches is generalised so that the novel Gregory S-patches of any valency can be smoothly joined to one another. Our second construction makes a minor adjustment to the generalised Bézier patch structure to allow for cross-boundary derivatives to be defined independently per side. We show that the corresponding blending functions have the inherent ability to blend ribbon data much like the rational blending functions of Gregory patches. Both constructions take as input a polygonal mesh with vertex normals and provide G1 surfaces interpolating the input vertices and normals. Due to the full locality of the methods, they are well suited for geometric modelling as well as computer graphics applications relying on hardware tessellation
08221 Abstracts Collection -- Geometric Modeling
From May 26 to May 30 2008 the Dagstuhl Seminar 08221 ``Geometric Modeling\u27\u27 was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI),
Schloss Dagstuhl.
During the seminar, several participants presented their current
research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of
the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of
seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section
describes the seminar topics and goals in general.

Flexible G1 Interpolation of Quad Meshes
International audienceTransforming an arbitrary mesh into a smooth G1 surface has been the subject of intensive research works. To get a visual pleasing shape without any imperfection even in the presence of extraordinary mesh vertices is still a challenging problem in particular when interpolation of the mesh vertices is required. We present a new local method, which produces visually smooth shapes while solving the interpolation problem. It consists of combining low degree biquartic Bézier patches with minimum number of pieces per mesh face, assembled together with G1-continuity. All surface control points are given explicitly. The construction is local and free of zero-twists. We further show that within this economical class of surfaces it is however possible to derive a sufficient number of meaningful degrees of freedom so that standard optimization techniques result in high quality surfaces

Smooth parametric surfaces and n-sided patches
The theory of 'geometric continuity' within the subject of CAGD is reviewed. In particular, we are concerned with how parametric surface patches for CAGD can be pieced together to form a smooth Ck surface. The theory is applied to the problem of filling an n-sided hole occurring within a smooth rectangular patch complex. A number of solutions to this problem are surveyed
Smooth quasi-developable surfaces bounded by smooth curves
Computing a quasi-developable strip surface bounded by design curves finds
wide industrial applications. Existing methods compute discrete surfaces
composed of developable lines connecting sampling points on input curves which
are not adequate for generating smooth quasi-developable surfaces. We propose
the first method which is capable of exploring the full solution space of
continuous input curves to compute a smooth quasi-developable ruled surface
with as large developability as possible. The resulting surface is exactly
bounded by the input smooth curves and is guaranteed to have no
self-intersections. The main contribution is a variational approach to compute
a continuous mapping of parameters of input curves by minimizing a function
evaluating surface developability. Moreover, we also present an algorithm to
represent a resulting surface as a B-spline surface when input curves are
B-spline curves.Comment: 18 page
