2. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 2 jgs Surfaces
3. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 3 jgs Surfaces Can be represented by huge number of points (polygons or triangles) + arbitrary shapes possible – large memory requirements – changes cause much work – corners - scaling Can be represented by two sets of orthogonal curves – only for some shape categories + marginal memory requirements + changes are rather simple + definition arbitrarily exact 3
4. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 4 jgs Curves | Concept A curve is a generalization of a line (a set of points),
5. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 5 jgs Curves | Concept A curve is a generalization of a line (a set of points), in that its curvature need not be zero.
6. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 6 jgs Curves | Representation § Implicit curve. y = f(x) such as y = sqrt (1–x2) § Parametric curve. x = f(t), y = g(t) such as x=cos(t), y=sin(t)
7. jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER332 | Spring 2018 | 7 • Derivatives of the coordinates define the tangent • The length of the tangent does not have a geometric meaning. Consider only +, 0, -, and ∞ • From slope • To “rate of change” at any point (first derivative) Curves | First Derivative

9. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 9 jgs Curves | First Derivative The curvature is the inverse of the radius of the best local approximation of the curve by a circle. And, curvature is defined as the magnitude of the derivative of a unit tangent vector function with respect to arc length: Moreover, for small values curvature is approximately the second derivative.
10. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 10 jgs Curves | Second Derivative The second derivative measures the concavity § positive mean convex, i.e., tangent line below the graph (blue) § zero represents an inflection point (red) § negative mean concave, i.e., tangent line above the graph (green)
11. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 11 jgs Spline Functions A curve can be defined piecewise by polynomials (spline functions) § Interpolating splines § Approximating splines 11
12. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 12 jgs Curves and Splines § A curve can be a concatenation of splines. § Control points determine the shape of the spline curve. § For each point specify a blending function which determines how the control point influence the shape of the curve for values of parameter t. § Therefore, a curve spline is specified as P(t) = p0 *B0 (t) + p1 *B1 (t) + p2 *B2 (t) + p3 *B3 (t) + ... § This is axis independent, i.e., it does not change when the coordinate system is rotated. 12
13. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 13 jgs § A control graph (or control polygon) is a poly-line connecting control points. § It shows the order of control points Control Graph 13
14. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 14 jgs Blending functions | Example Bezier Blending function are: § Easy to compute (polynomials are) § Continuous § Interpolate nicely the control points Example (Bezier blending function): § Define 4 control points § Define t between 0 and 1 § Blending function are defined as B0 (t)=(1-t)3, B1 (t)=3t(1-t)2, B2 (t)=3t2(1-t), B1 (t)=(t)3
15. Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER431 | Fall 2018 | 15 jgs Blending functions | Example Bezier Blending function are: § Easy to compute (polynomials are) § Continuous § Interpolate nicely the control points Example (Bezier blending function): § Define 4 control points § Define t between 0 and 1 § Blending function are defined as B0 (t)=(1-t)3, B1 (t)=3t(1-t)2, B2 (t)=3t2(1-t), B1 (t)=(t)3
16. jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | SER332 | Spring 2018 | 16 Thus, with 4 points and the Bezier blending functions, we replace • P(t) = p0 *B0 (t) + p1 *B1 (t) + p2 *B2 (t) + p3 *B3 (t) With P(t) = (1-t)3 P0 + 3t(1-t)2 P1 + 3t2(1-t) P2 + (t)3 P3 Where t is 0 <= t < = 1
