Rapid Generation of C 2 Continuous Blending Surfaces
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Most surface-blending methods are able to blend surfaces with tangent continuity. ...
However, curvature continuity has become increasingly important in geometric modelling and its applications, such as computer animation, computer-aided design and virtual reality. ...
This method was first proposed by Bloor and Wilson [5] . In the reported literature, however, the PDE based approach has only been used to construct a C 1 continuous blending surface. ...

Computer-Aided Design and Applications
A blending technique is then applied to vicinities of extra-ordinary vertices to ensure continuity and boundedness of curvature at each extra-ordinary vertex. ...
This blending process does not change the value of the surface at the extra-ordinary points. ...

Computer-Aided Design
In the past, cyclide surfaces have been used effectively for the variable radius blending of natural quadric intersections. ...
However, attempts to use cyclides for constructing realistic, freeform composite surfaces met with rather limited success. ...

Modeling in Computer Graphics
We describe a method to generate blend surfaces which t with continuous curvature to the primary surfaces. ...
Among all the bicubic tensor splines which give a curvature continuous blend surface, the one is chosen which minimizes a bilinear functional. ...
In this case, one can only prescribe the boundary values not the normal or even the curvature. Thus, generating blend surfaces by this method will only yield continuous surfaces. ...
