Abstract:SUMMARYA hole patching algorithm for discrete geometry using a parametric approach based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) curves and surfaces is being presented in this paper. This algorithm is focused on recovering the missing geometric information based on the neighboring points surrounding the topologically simple but geometrically complex holes. The neighboring points are utilized to reconstruct a set of three-dimensional (3D) NURBS surface patches covering the hole region which in turn are used to… Show more
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.
