Blossoming Development of Splines

Más información sobre el libro

The lecture focuses on Bézier and B-spline curves and surfaces, essential mathematical tools in CAD systems for designing complex shapes in industries like aerospace and automotive. It emphasizes the geometric representation of these curves through control points and introduces blossoming as a key analysis technique. The discussion covers various properties, including continuity, change of basis algorithms, and knot insertion. Additional topics include triangle diagrams, direct manipulation of B-spline curves, NURBS curves, and different surface types, providing a comprehensive understanding of these concepts.
