Modelling surfaces by interpolating polygonallines

Abstract

A new method for modelling a surface from a set of polygonal lines is presented in this paper. These polygonal lines are assumed to be drawn on the surface to build. The method proceeds by the decomposition of the skeleton defined by these plines into a set of loops. These loops represent a series of c1osed bounderies of the respective plines. Then pieces of surfaces are buiU from the set of loops; the association of these pieces of surfaces will return the final surface. The approach used to determine the set of loops is the 2-D Weiler method. The normal vector of the tangent plane to each node of the skeleton must be given, in order to model a 3-D surface using the 2-D Weiler method.
