Title |
Hidden curve removal for free form surfaces |
Date |
1989 |
Description |
This paper describes a hidden curve algorithm specifically designed for sculptured surfaces. A technique is described to extract the visible curves for a given scene without the need to approximate the surface by polygons. This algorithm produces higher quality results than polygon based algorithms, as most of the output set has an exact representation. Surface coherence is used to speed up the process. Although designed for sculptured surfaces, this algorithm is also suitable for polygonal data. |
