Smooth contour line construction with spline interpolation.

Pere Brunet Crosa, Lluis Pérez Vidal (1984)

Qüestiió

Contour maps are frequently used to represent three-dimensional surfaces from geographical applications or experimental results. In this paper, two new algorithms for the generation and display of such contours are presented. The first of them uses local spline interpolation to obtain contour maps from data points in a rectangular mesh, whereas the other interpolates a set of irregular points through recursive subdivision of triangles. In both algorithms, precision of the contours can be adjusted...

Smoothness and geometry of boundaries associated to skeletal structures I: sufficient conditions for smoothness

James Damon (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We introduce a skeletal structure ( M , U ) in n + 1 , which is an n - dimensional Whitney stratified set M on which is defined a multivalued “radial vector field” U . This is an extension of notion of the Blum medial axis of a region in n + 1 with generic smooth boundary. For such a skeletal structure there is defined an “associated boundary” . We introduce geometric invariants of the radial vector field U on M and a “radial flow” from M to . Together these allow us to provide sufficient numerical conditions for...
