An introduction to computing two dimensional spline functions for fitting curves and surfaces in computer-aided design. Outlines conditions under which two-dimensional splines can be best applied, and integrates formulas and algorithms to emphasize concepts in spline interpolation on rectangular grids and for arbitrarily distributed points; bilinear, biquadratic, and bicubic spline interpolation; and triangulations. Includes Fortran 77 subroutines which can be applied to the problems in the book. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
These volumes present a practical introduction to computing spline functions, the fundamental tools for fitting curves and surfaces in computer-aided deisgn (CAD) and computer graphics.
This book presents a practical introduction to computing spline functions, the fundamental tools for fitting curves and surfaces in computer-aided design (CAD) and computer graphics. It provides detailed derivations of the formulas needed for a computer implementation of the interpolation methods.
