A positive rational cubic function [8] has been extended to positive rational bi-cubic partially blended function to visualize the shape of 3D positive data. To preserve the shape of positive data, simple data dependent constraints are derived on the free parameters in the description of rational bi-cubic partially blended functions. The developed scheme is local and 1 C .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
