Abstract

Recently, in computer-aided geometric modeling(CAGD), subdivision surfaces are frequently employed to construct free-form surface. Subdivision schemes have been very popular in computer graphics and animation community, but the community of CAGD adopts this tool only recently to handle surface geometry. In the present study, Loop scheme and Catmull-Clark scheme are applied to generate smooth surfaces. To be consistent with the limit points of target surface, the initial sampling points are properly rearranged. The pointwise curvature errors and coordinate value errors between the points in the sequence of subdivision process and the points on the target surface are evaluated In the numerical examples in both Loop scheme & Catmull-Clark subdivision scheme.
