An Introduction to Splines for Use in Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling

Rating:
Summary: Book Contents
Review: Inside the Introduction to Splines, the reader will find the construction of B-spline basis functions. The complete reference for B-splines for both uniform and non-uniform knot vector, and various methods for constuctions B-splines given certain contraints. The text goes further to introduce the B-spline recurrance relation through divided differences and one sided power functions. Beta splines, Hermite interpolation and other relavent topics are covered in great depth with illustrations to clarify concepts.
