Constrained Optimization in Surface Design

  • Conference paper
Modeling in Computer Graphics

Part of the book series: IFIP Series on Computer Graphics ((IFIP SER.COMP.))

Abstract

Constrained optimization is used for interactive surface design in our new surface editor. It allows designers to modify B-spline surfaces to satisfy their design intents, expressed as geometric constraints. The restrictions on the set of constraints are few. In the special case of no constraints a surface can be faired to remove design flaws.
