Abstract
We present a two-stage approach for the construction of surfaces from contour data. At first the contour curves are found using an algorithm for shape preserving least-square approximation of planar data by polynomial parametric spline curves. The obtained curves are then interpolated by tensor-product B-spline surfaces. The interpolation scheme used in the second step preserves the signs of the sectional curvature of the contours.
