Malik Zawwar Hussain, Muhammad Sarfraz, Ayesha Shakeel . Shape Preserving Surfaces for the Visualization of Positive and Convex Data using Rational Bi-quadratic Splines. International Journal of Computer Applications. 27, 10 ( August 2011), 12-20. DOI=10.5120/3338-4594
A smooth surface interpolation scheme for positive and convex data has been developed. This scheme has been extended from the rational quadratic spline function of Sarfraz [11] to a rational bi-quadratic spline function. Simple data dependent constraints are derived on the free parameters in the description of rational bi-quadratic spline function to preserve the shape of 3D positive and convex data. The rational spline scheme has a unique representation. The developed scheme is computationally economical and visually pleasant.
