2 Smooth curve and surface

3 Design criteria of smooth curve and surface Smooth and continuity Ability to control the local shape Stability Is it easy to draw

4 Smooth and continuity Regard the curve as the orbit of point changing with its parameter u C( u) y( u) zu ( ) 2 n x( u) a0 a1u a2u anu Regard the differential of one point as the its speed along the orbit, the direction of speed is the tangent direction of this point x( u) a1 2a2u nanu C( u) y( u) z ( u) n1

6 C n metric of curve smooth Differentiability of function:if parametric curve has continuous derivative until n order at any point in the interval [a, b],i.e. n order continuous differentiable, then the curve is n order parametric continuous in the interval [a, b]. Polynomial curve has infinite order parametric continuous C Polynomial curve of n order p n (x)=a 0 +a 1 x+a 2 x 2 +a n x n

7 Consider two curves with a common point Differentiability of function:if parametric curve has continuous derivative until n order at any point in the interval [a, b],i.e. n order continuous differentiable, then the curve is n order parametric continuous in the interval [a, b]. C 0 continuous C 1 continuous

8 C n curve continuity Differentiability of function:if combined parametric curve has continuous derivative until n order at the joint point, it is called C n or n-order parametric continuous. Is there any thing wrong? The same curve can have different parameters. circle: 1 t xt () x( u) cos( u) or 1 t y( u) sin( u) 2t yt () 1 t 2 2 2

9 Different parameters will get different derivative vector! (0,2) ) (1 ) 2(1, ) (1 4 )) ( ), ( ( (0,1) )) ),cos( sin( ( )) ( ), ( ( t t t t t y t x u u u y u x

11 Two continuity definitions Differentiability of function:if combined parametric curve has continuous derivative until n order at the joint,i.e. n order continuous differentiable, such smooth is called C n or n order parametric continuous. Geometry continuity:if the direction of derivative vector of combined curve at the joint is equal, then it is n order geometry continuous, denoted by G n.

12 If require G 0 or C 0 continuous at the joint, that is to say two curves are continuous at the joint. If require G 1 continuous at the joint,that is to say two curves are G 0 continuous at the joint, and have the common derivative vector P (1)=aQ (0). when a=1,g 1 continuous is also C 1 continuous If require G 2 continuous at the joint,that is to say two curves are G 1 continuous at the joint, and have common curvature vector.

13 Curvature formula P(1) P (1) Q(0) Q (0) 3 3 P(1) Q(0) This equation can be wrote as : Q a P bp 2 (0) (1) (1) a, b is arbitrary constant. When a=1,b=0,g 2 continuous is also C 2 continuous. P(0) P(t) P(1) Q(0) Q(t) Q(1) Figure continuous of two curves

14 Arc length parameterization of curve The same curve can have different parameter If u(s) is a monotonic function,then C(s)=C(u(s)) is a new parameterization about s of the curve Compute the length L(u) of curve C(u) If there exists parameter s, so that L(s)=s, s 0? s = 0 Length L(s) Parameter s Curve C(s)

15 Arc length parameterization of curve ds Let C( u) du u s C( u) du L( u) 0 u s L s 1 ( ) ( ) dc( s) dc( u( s)) du 1 v( s) C( u) ds du ds C ( u ) vs ( ) 1
