Localized Surface Interpolation Method for Irregular Meshes

  • Conference paper

Abstract

A surface interpolation method for irregular meshes of curves is proposed. When a face in the mesh is interpolated, a surface patch on the face is individually generated from localized boundary information. The tangent planes of generated patches are continuous. This method employs an extended Bezier patch as a surface equation. The patch can be defined, specifying independently normal derivatives along the boundary curves. The total procedure of generating patches is simple and quick.
