1 | Beta-spline: a local representation based on shape parameters and fundamental geometric measures | Abstract: A mathematical technique for curve and surface representation has been developed which reflects an underlying geometric, as opposed to algebraic nature. Elementary differential geometry concepts are reviewed and the unit tangent and curvature vectors are used as fundamental geometric meas... | beta-spline; geometric curves; geometric surfaces; shape parameters | 1981-12 |
