A variational method to model G1 surfaces over triangular meshes of arbitrary topology in R3.

A variational method to model G1 surfaces over triangular meshes of arbitrary topology in R3.

This article presents a method for constructing a G1-smooth surface, composed of independently parametrized triangular polynomial Bézier patches, to fit scattered data points triangulated in R3 with arbitrary topology. The method includes a variational technique to optimize the shape of the surface....
