一种对称非均匀细分曲面算法

为了得到能更好应用于CAD系统的细分曲面造型方法,提出一种基于B-样条的对称非均匀细分算法,其中的思想和均匀Lane-Riesenfeld节点插入算法相似。基于B-样条的节点插入算法,以Blossoming为工具,计算出细分后的新控制顶点。细分后得到的极限曲面由张量积样条曲面组成,在奇异点达到2C连续。与传统的细分曲面算法相比,该细分曲面算法具有良好的局部支撑性,大大降低了算法的复杂度,而且该算法是对称的,不用考虑定向问题。     

General triangular midpoint subdivision

In this paper, we introduce triangular subdivision operators which are composed of a refinement operator and several averaging operators, where the refinement operator splits each triangle uniformly into four congruent triangles and in each averaging operation, every vertex will be replaced by a convex combination of itself and its neighboring vertices. These operators form an infinite class of triangular subdivision schemes including Loop's algorithm with a restricted parameter range and the midpoint schemes for triangular meshes. We analyze the smoothness of the resulting subdivision surfaces at their regular and extraordinary points by generalizing an established technique for analyzing midpoint subdivision on quadrilateral meshes. General triangular midpoint subdivision surfaces are smooth at all regular points and they are also smooth at extraordinary points under certain conditions. We show some general triangular subdivision surfaces and compare them with Loop subdivision surfaces.     

Analyzing midpoint subdivision

Midpoint subdivision generalizes the Lane–Riesenfeld algorithm for uniform tensor product splines and can also be applied to non-regular meshes. For example, midpoint subdivision of degree 2 is a specific Doo–Sabin algorithm and midpoint subdivision of degree 3 is a specific Catmull–Clark algorithm. In 2001, Zorin and Schröder were able to prove C¹-continuity for midpoint subdivision surfaces analytically up to degree 9. Here, we develop general analysis tools to show that the limiting surfaces under midpoint subdivision of any degree ?2 are C¹-continuous at their extraordinary points.     

Interpolation by geometric algorithm

We present a novel geometric algorithm to construct a smooth surface that interpolates a triangular or a quadrilateral mesh of arbitrary topological type formed by n vertices. Although our method can be applied to B-spline surfaces and subdivision surfaces of all kinds, we illustrate our algorithm focusing on Loop subdivision surfaces as most of the meshes are in triangular form. We start our algorithm by assuming that the given triangular mesh is a control net of a Loop subdivision surface. The control points are iteratively updated globally by a simple local point-surface distance computation and an offsetting procedure without solving a linear system. The complexity of our algorithm is O(mn) where n is the number of vertices and m is the number of iterations. The number of iterations m depends on the fineness of the mesh and accuracy required.     

A subdivision scheme for Poisson curves and surfaces

The de Casteljau evaluation algorithm applied to a finite sequence of control points defines a Bézier curve. This evaluation procedure also generates a subdivision algorithm and the limit of the subdivision process is this same Bézier curve. Extending the de Casteljau subdivision algorithm to an infinite sequence of control points defines a new family of curves. Here, limits of this stationary non-uniform subdivision process are shown to be equivalent to curves whose control points are the original data points and whose blending functions are given by the Poisson distribution. Thus this approach generalizes standard subdivision techniques from polynomials to arbitrary analytic functions. Extensions of this new subdivision scheme from curves to tensor product surfaces are also discussed.     

A Recursive Subdivision Algorithm for Piecewise Circular Spline

We present an algorithm for generating a piecewise G ¹ circular spline curve from an arbitrary given control polygon. For every corner, a circular biarc is generated with each piece being parameterized by its arc length. This is the first subdivision scheme that produces a piecewise biarc curve that can interpolate an arbitrary set of points. It is easily adopted in a recursive subdivision surface scheme to generate surfaces with circular boundaries with pieces parameterized by arc length, a property not previously available. As an application, a modified version of Doo–Sabin subdivision algorithm is outlined making it possible to blend a subdivision surface with other surfaces having circular boundaries such as cylinders.     

Computing surfaces invariant under subdivision

In this paper, we propose a general subdivision algorithm for generating surfaces. The algorithm has as motivation our earlier work on the design of free form curves where similar ideas were investigated. Here we describe some properties of uniform refinement algorithms for surface generation. A detail analysis of their properties will be given later by one of us.

Detecting and reconstructing subdivision connectivity

inverse subdivision algorithms , with linear time and space complexity, to detect and reconstruct uniform Loop, Catmull–Clark, and Doo–Sabin subdivision structure in irregular triangular, quadrilateral, and polygonal meshes. We consider two main applications for these algorithms. The first one is to enable interactive modeling systems that support uniform subdivision surfaces to use popular interchange file formats which do not preserve the subdivision structure, such as VRML, without loss of information. The second application is to improve the compression efficiency of existing lossless connectivity compression schemes, by optimally compressing meshes with Loop subdivision connectivity. Our Loop inverse subdivision algorithm is based on global connectivity properties of the covering mesh, a concept motivated by the covering surface from Algebraic Topology. Although the same approach can be used for other subdivision schemes, such as Catmull–Clark, we present a Catmull–Clark inverse subdivision algorithm based on a much simpler graph-coloring algorithm and a Doo–Sabin inverse subdivision algorithm based on properties of the dual mesh. Straightforward extensions of these approaches to other popular uniform subdivision schemes are also discussed. Published online: 3 July 2002

A New Class of Guided C2 Subdivision Surfaces Combining Good Shape with Nested Refinement

Converting quadrilateral meshes to smooth manifolds, guided subdivision offers a way to combine the good highlight line distribution of recent G‐spline constructions with the refinability of subdivision surfaces. This avoids the complex refinement of G‐spline constructions and the poor shape of standard subdivision. Guided subdivision can then be used both to generate the surface and hierarchically compute functions on the surface. Specifically, we present a C² subdivision algorithm of polynomial degree bi‐6 and a curvature bounded algorithm of degree bi‐5. We prove that the common eigenstructure of this class of subdivision algorithms is determined by their guide and demonstrate that their eigenspectrum (speed of contraction) can be adjusted without harming the shape. For practical implementation, a finite number of subdivision steps can be completed by a high‐quality cap. Near irregular points this allows leveraging standard polynomial tools both for rendering of the surface and for approximately integrating functions on the surface.     

散乱数据点的细分曲面重建算法及实现

提出一种对海量散乱数据根据给定精度拟合出无需裁剪和拼接的、反映细节特征的、分片光滑的细分曲面算法．该算法的核心是基于细分的局部特性，通过对有特征的细分控制网格极限位置分析，按照拟合曲面与数据点的距离误差最小原则，对细分曲面控制网格循环进行调整、优化、特征识别、白适应细分等过程，使得细分曲面不断地逼近原始数据．实例表明：该算法不仅具有高效性、稳定性，同时构造出的细分曲面还较好地反映了原始数据的细节特征。     

任意拓扑网的细分改进

在改进任意拓扑网构造光滑表面时,初始控制网格确定的情况下,生成的曲面形状惟一确定,最终的物体造型也随之确定,不具有可调性,因而在曲面细分过程中引入了控制参数和摄动。通过引入控制参数,调节一个参数值,使得所得的细分曲面的表达度可控,可以得到一系列的细分曲面。引入摄动是为了改进了空间位置,允许局部地调控约束曲面的形状。最后给出了曲面设计的实例,表明这种算法简单、有效。     

混合网格的可调细分算法

论文主要研究混合网格的曲面细分问题,提出了一种带有可调参数的细分算法。该算法适用于多边形网格、三角形网格,以及两者的混合网格情形,且对开的和闭的拓扑结构都能进行处理。由于在算法中引入了可调参数,这样既可产生光滑曲面,也可产生具有尖锐特征的曲面,且通过调整参数还可产生标准的Catmull-Clark细分和Loop细分。另外,实现该算法不需要复杂的数据结构。     

Point-augmented biquadratic C1 subdivision surfaces

Shape artifacts, especially for convex input polyhedra, make Doo and Sabin’s generalization of bi-quadratic (bi-2) subdivision surfaces unattractive for general design. Rather than tuning the eigenstructure of the subdivision matrix, we improve shape by adding a point and enriching the refinement rules. Adding a guiding point can also yield a polar bi-2 subdivision algorithm. Both the augmented and the polar bi-2 subdivision are complemented by a new Primal Bi-2 Subdivision scheme. All surfaces are $C^1$ and can be combined.     

Texture mapping subdivision surfaces with hard constraints

We propose a texture mapping technique that allows user to directly manipulate texture coordinates of subdivision surfaces through adding feature correspondences. After features, or constraints, are specified by user on the subdivision surface, the constraints are projected back to the control mesh and a polygon matching/embedding algorithm is performed to generate polygon regions that embed texture coordinates of control mesh into different regions. After this step, some Steiner points are added to the control mesh. The generated texture coordinates exactly satisfy the input constraints but with high distortions. Then a constrained smoothing algorithm is performed to minimize distortions of the subdivision surface via updating texture coordinates of the control mesh. Finally, an Iterative Closest Point (ICP)-based deformation algorithm is performed to remove subdivision errors caused by the added Steiner points.     

Artifact analysis on triangular box-splines and subdivision surfaces defined by triangular polyhedra

Surface artifacts are features in a surface which cannot be avoided by movement of control points. They are present in B-splines, box splines and subdivision surfaces. We showed how the subdivision process can be used as a tool to analyse artifacts in surfaces defined by quadrilateral polyhedra ( [Sabin et al., 2005] and [Augsd?rfer et al., 2011]).In this paper we are utilising the subdivision process to develop a generic expression which can be employed to determine the magnitude of artifacts in surfaces defined by any regular triangular polyhedra. We demonstrate the method by analysing box-splines and regular regions of subdivision surfaces based on triangular meshes: Loop subdivision, Butterfly subdivision and a novel interpolating scheme with two smoothing stages. We compare our results for surfaces defined by triangular polyhedra to those for surfaces defined by quadrilateral polyhedra.     

Smooth multiple B-spline surface fitting with Catmull%ndash;Clark subdivision surfaces for extraordinary corner patches

This paper presents an algorithm for simultaneously fitting smoothly connected multiple surfaces from unorganized measured data. A hybrid mathematical model of B-spline surfaces and Catmull–Clark subdivision surfaces is introduced to represent objects with general quadrilateral topology. The interconnected multiple surfaces are G ² continuous across all surface boundaries except at a finite number of extraordinary corner points where G ¹ continuity is obtained. The algorithm is purely a linear least-squares fitting procedure without any constraint for maintaining the required geometric continuity. In case of general uniform knots for all surfaces, the final fitted multiple surfaces can also be exported as a set of Catmull–Clark subdivision surfaces with global C ² continuity and local C ¹ continuity at extraordinary corner points.

Recursive subdivision without the convex hull property

Recursive subdivision is a standard technique in computer aided geometric design for intersecting and rendering curves and surfaces. The convergence of recursive subdivision is critical for its effective use. Bézier and B-spline curves and surfaces have recursive subdivision algorithms that are known to converge. We show more generally that if a recursive subdivision algorithm exists for a given curve or surface type, then convergence is guaranteed if the blending functions are continuous, form a partition of unity, and are linearly independent. Thus, convergence of recursive subdivision does not depend on the convex hull property. We also show that even in the absence of the convex hull property, it is possible to define termination tests based on the flatness of control polygons, and to construct intersection algorithms based on recursive subdivision. Examples are given of polynomial curves to which our theorems apply.
