Symbolic operators for NURBS

CAD Computer Aided Design, 1997
Symbolic operators for NURBS curves and surfaces are presented in this paper. The operators are used to compute NURBS entities by performing algebraic operations using NURBS curves and surfaces as variables. Dot and cross products, sum/difference and derivative operators are presented.

NURBS in VRML

Proceedings of the fifth symposium on Virtual reality modeling language (Web3D-VRML), 2000
In the days of VRML 1.0, NURBS seemed to be too complex to be adapted to the specification. Current development of hardware compels us to reevaluate this idea: While CPU clocks break the 1-GHz barrier, users still have to cope with 56K modems. NURBS meet exactly these demands.

NURBS Fusion

2008 International Conference on Computational Sciences and Its Applications, 2008
In this paper, we propose a new NURBS modeling technique, called NURBS fusion and present a complete algorithm for NURBS fusion. Working on a set of intersecting NURBS surfaces, NURBS fusion automatically eliminates the intersected parts and connects the remaining parts smoothly with auxiliary surfaces, so that a polysurface composed of multiple nicely

REPARAMETRIZATION OF NURBS CURVES

International Journal of Shape Modeling, 1996
The authors note that it is difficult to work with arc length for parametrically given curves, in particular the rationality of the representation is lost for NURBS curves. Hence, they propose a reparametrization scheme that approximates parametrization by arc length \(\varphi(t)\) through a fractional linear transformation \(\psi(t)\) such that \(\psi\

From NURBS to C-NURBS: I — C-NURBS Curves and Their Properties

Volume 2: 19th Computers and Information in Engineering Conference, 1999
Abstract This paper develops a new free-form model, called c-NURBS, which is a general model of NURBS. A c-NURBS curve or surface is the projection of a 6D B-spline curve from a 6D homogeneous space H6 into a 3D space R3. The construction procedure of a c-NURBS curve or surface is that using cubic curves or bicubic patches repeatedly and

From NURBS to C-NURBS: II — C-NURBS Surfaces and C-Bezier Triangles

Volume 2: 19th Computers and Information in Engineering Conference, 1999
Abstract This paper develops c-NURBS surfaces and c-Bezier triangles. The projection from 6D homogenous space to 3D vector space developed in previous papers [12, 13] is applied to surfaces. As a result, a c-NURBS surface can be constructed using bicubic patches to interpolate the given control points with the de Boor-Cox algorithm ...

On NURBS: a survey

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 1991
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 their wide acceptance as standard tools for geometry representation and design are summarized.

Precision NURBS interpolator based on recursive characteristics of NURBS

The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2012
In NURBS interpolation, real-time parameter update is an indispensable step which affects not only feedrate fluctuation but also contour error. Using Taylor approximation interpolation method to find the next interpolation point causes a large feedrate fluctuation due to the accumulation and truncation errors.
