Rational Bi-cubic G2 Splines for Design with Basic Shapes
Abstract
The paper develops a rational bi-cubic G<sup>2</sup> (curvature continuous) analogue of the non-uniform polynomial C<sup>2</sup> cubic B-spline paradigm. These rational splines can exactly reproduce parts of multiple basic shapes, such as cyclides and quadrics, in one by default smoothly-connected structure. The versatility of this new tool for processing exact geometry is illustrated by conceptual design from basic shapes.
