Abstract:
We consider the problem from reverse engineering to construct a G^1 continuous interpolant to a triangulated set of 3D points and corresponding normals by fitting a composite surface consisting of rational triangular Bézier patches by using the so--called rational blend technique. The solution depends on free shape parameters which are fixed by minimizing different functionals depending on suitable surface metrics.
