The intersection problems of parametric curve and surfaces by means of matrix based implicit representations

In this paper, we introduce and study a new implicit representation of parametric curves and parametric surfaces . We show how these representations which we will call the matrix implied, establish a bridge between geometry and linear algebra, thus opening the possibility of a more robust digital processing. The contribution of this approach is discussed and illustrated on important issues of geometric modeling and Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) : The curve/curve, urve/surface and surface/surface intersection problems, the point-on-curve and inversion problems, the computation of singularities points

A matrix-based approach to properness and inversion problems for rational surfaces

We present a matrix-based algorithm for deciding if the parametrization of a curve or a surface is invertible or not, and for computing the inverse of the parametrization if it exists.Comment: 12 pages, latex, revised version accepted for publication in the Journal AAEC
