Control point adjustment for B-spline curve approximation
Pottmann et al. propose an iterative optimization scheme for approximating a target curve with a B-spline curve based on square distance minimization, or SDM. The main advantage o...

Curve fitting and fairing using conic splines
We present an efficient geometric algorithm for conic spline curve fitting and fairing through conic arc scaling. Given a set of planar points, we first construct a tangent contin...

Reduce the stretch in surface flattening by finding cutting paths to the surface boundary
This paper presents a method for finding cutting paths on a 3D triangular mesh surface to reduce the stretch in the flattened surface. The cutting paths link the surface boundary ...

Parametric representation of a surface pencil with a common spatial geodesic
In this paper, we study the problem of constructing a family of surfaces from a given spatial geodesic curve. We derive a parametric representation for a surface pencil whose memb...

A single solution method for converting 2D assembly drawings to 3D part drawings
Although solid models play a central role in modern CAD systems, 2D CAD systems are still commonly used for designing products without complex curved faces. Therefore, an importan...

Isotopic approximations and interval solids
Given a nonsingular compact two-manifold F without boundary, we present methods for establishing a family of surfaces which can approximate F so that each approximant is ambient i...
