The latest from a computer graphics pioneer, An Introduction to NURBS is the ideal resource
for anyone seeking a theoretical and practical understanding of these very important curves …

Computer-aided modeling techniques have been developed since the advent of NC milling
machines in the late 40's. Since the early 60's Bezier and B spline representations evolved …

Nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves and surfaces, which are based on rational
and B-splines, are defined. The important characteristics of NURBS that have contributed to …

From the Publisher: An Introduction to CAD/CAM/CAE is a timely text with coverage of many
modern topics, including: rapid prototyping, virtual engineering, NT-based solid modeling …

The paper presents a simple technique to assign parameter values to randomly measured
points for the least squares fitting of B-spline surfaces. The parameterization is realized by …

Written by researchers who have helped found and shape the field, this book is a definitive
introduction to geometric modeling. The authors present all of the necessary techniques for …

Isogeometric analysis has been proposed as a methodology for bridging the gap between
computer aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA). Although both the …

Mass/Spring networks are commonly used to produce simulations of deformable bodies for
computer animation. However, such an approach can produce inaccurate results if too …

In product design, a CAD model often needs to be constructed from a physical part. This
process is called reverse engineering and is performed through dimensional digitising and …

In this paper it is shown how the algebraic product of two spline functions, each represented
in terms of B-splines, can again be represented as a linear combination of suitable B …
