The continuity properties of recursively generated B-spline surfaces over an arbitrary topology have been related to the eigenproperties of the local subdivision transformation.In this paper a discrete Fourier transform technique is employed to derive these eigenproperties for a general choice of subdivision weightings. Conditions on these weightings are identified for tangent plane continuity at the extraordinary points and a geometric interpretation is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
