Continuity-Enhancing Degree Elevation and Splits
DescriptionWe present two novel methods for automatically enhancing the continuity of piecewise-polynomial curves with negligible computational overhead. They provide the first practical interface for modeling curves with curvature (or higher) continuity using the familiar Bezier handles of piecewise cubic curves, the most popular curve modeling interface that previously offered no mechanism to achieve curvature continuity. Our solutions can also be used for defining new interpolating curve formulations with desirable properties. Furthermore, they can be used with higher-dimensional curves or surfaces, which we demonstrate by fixing the curvature discontinuities of the famous Utah Teapot model.
