Title: Fairing bicubic B-spline surfaces using simulated annealing

(pdf 734 KB)

Abstract:

In this paper we present an automatic fairing algorithm for bicubic B-spline surfaces. The fairing method consists of a knot re- moval and knot reinsertion step which locally smoothes the surface. The simulated-annealing search strategy is used to search for the global mini- mum of the fairing measure.
