The control points of the degree-reduced C-Brzier surfaces can be explicitly obtained by using a matrix operation that is based on the transfer matrix of the C-Brzier basis. With prescribed boundary constraints, this method can be applied to piecewise continuous patches or to a single patch with the combination of surface subdivision. The resulting piecewise approximating patches are globally G1 continuous. Finally, numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.展开更多

文摘We propose an optimal approach to solve the problem of multi-degree reduction of C-Brzier surfaces in the norm L2 with prescribed constraints. The control points of the degree-reduced C-Brzier surfaces can be explicitly obtained by using a matrix operation that is based on the transfer matrix of the C-Brzier basis. With prescribed boundary constraints, this method can be applied to piecewise continuous patches or to a single patch with the combination of surface subdivision. The resulting piecewise approximating patches are globally G1 continuous. Finally, numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.
