Abstract:
This paper presents efficient methods for directly generating Bézier points of curves and surfaces explicitly from the given compatible arbitrary order boundary information of Hermite curves, Coons-Hermite Cartesian sum patches and Coons-Boolean sum patches. The explicit expressions for the generalized Hermite functions are also developed. Furthermore, a method for determining the twist control points and higher level sets of interior control points from their boundary and lower level sets of control points by using the Coons-Boolean sum schema presented. Many interesting and useful examples are also given in this paper.
