A canal surface S, generated by a parametrized curve m(t), in R3 is the envelope of the set of spheres with radius r(t) centered at m(t). This concept generalizes the classical of...
Surfaces subdivision is an important means for geometric computing of surfaces in CAD. This paper proposes a new quadric subdivision for canal surfaces in this paper, RQ-sphere dec...
This paper addresses the reconstruction of canal surfaces from single images. A canal surface is obtained as the envelope of a family of spheres of constant radius, whose center is...
