Abstract
(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) removing all unwanted knots using the offset tolerance. The method provides a good handle on error control and results in the fewest number of control points compared to all published work. It also allows one to control the degree and the parametrization of th
