A Comparison of Cylindrical Pasting Methods

Abstract

In this paper, we study six different boundary control point mappings for cylindrical surface pasting and compare the resulting pasted surfaces for C 0 join continuity. All six methods are algorithmically simple with low computational costs, requiring minimal computation aside from surface evaluation. The results demonstrate an order of magnitude quality improvement for some of our methods on a convex-only curved base, however, as the complexity of the base surface increases all methods show similar performance.
