Abstract

The traditional method of manipulation of knots and degrees gives poor quality of surface, if compatibility of input curves is not good enough. In this work, a new algorithm of multiple refitting of curves has been developed using minimum energy based formulation to get compatible curves for skinning. The present technique first reduces the number of control points and gives smoother surface for given accuracy and the surface obtained is then skinned by compatible curves. This technique is very useful to reduce data size when a large number of data have to be handled. Energy based technique is suitable for approximating the missing data. The volumetric information can also be obtained from the surface data for analysis.
