Ramadhan Abdo Musleh Alsaidi . Two Methods for Surface /Surface Intersection Problem Comparative Study. International Journal of Computer Applications. 92, 5 ( April 2014), 1-8. DOI=10.5120/16002-4989
The determination of the intersection curve between two surfaces may be seen as two different and sequential problems (1) determining initial points of the intersection curve and (2) tracing it from these points. Presented in this paper are: one technique for computing the initial point, and two methods for tracing the intersection curve of two parametric surfaces. Algorithms, implementation, and illustrative examples will be discussed as well as a comparative analysis of each method.
