G 2 interpolation and blending on surfaces

We introduce a method for curvature-continuous (G ²) interpolation of an arbitrary sequence of points on a surface (implicit or parametric) with prescribed tangent and geodesic curvature at every point. The method can also be used forG ² blending of curves on surfaces. The interpolation/blending curve is the intersection curve of the given surface with a functional spline (implicit) surface. For the construction of blending curves, we derive the necessary formulas for the curvature of the surfaces. The intermediate results areG ² interpolation/blending methods in IR².
