Invariant Fitting of Arbitrary Single-Extremum Surfaces
1993
Procedings of the British Machine Vision Conference 1993
In this paper we describe a new method of satisfying the requirement for high representational richness while retaining the ease of manipulation and recognition of single-extremum surface patches. ...
Besl and Jain's variable order surface fitting algorithm [1] is a useful method of constructing a noise-free reconstruction of 2jD range images with a small number of primitive regions. ...

Curvature estimation scheme for triangle meshes using biquadratic Bézier patches
2005
Computer-Aided Design
This paper compares commonly used discrete and continuous curvature estimation schemes. We also present a novel method which uses biquadratic Bézier patches as a local surface fitting technique. ...
Since a triangle mesh is a piecewise linear surface, curvature has to be estimated. Several different schemes have been proposed, both discrete and continuous i.e. based on fitting surfaces locally. ...
Special thanks to Sandeep Pulla for implementing the original Bézier method, Gerald Farin for contribution to the manuscript and John Femiani for review and corrections. ...

Furthermore, when considering a quadratic strain function of stretch, we introduce a new type of springs called tensile biquadratic springs. ...
In a second stage, we extend this equivalence to non-linear membranes (St Venant-Kirchhoff materials) on triangular meshes leading to triangular biquadratic and quadratic springs. ...

High-order approximation of conic sections by quadratic splines
1995
Computer Aided Geometric Design
Given a segment of a conic section in the form of a rational Bézier curve, a quadratic spline approximation is constructed and an explicit error bound is derived. ...
The approximation method and error bound are also applied to an important subclass of rational biquadratic surfaces which includes the sphere, ellipsoid, torus, cone and cylinder. ...
