Coons Patches and Gregory Patches Dr. Scott Schaefer
Patches With Arbitrary Boundaries • Given any 4 curves, f(s,0), f(s,1), f(0,t), f(1,t) that meet continuously at the corners, construct a smooth surface interpolating these curves
Patches With Arbitrary Boundaries • Given any 4 curves, f(s,0), f(s,1), f(0,t), f(1,t) that meet continuously at the corners, construct a smooth surface interpolating these curves
Coons Patches • Build a ruled surface between pairs of curves

Coons Patches • “Correct” surface to make boundaries match
Coons Patches • “Correct” surface to make boundaries match
Properties of Coons Patches • Interpolate arbitrary boundaries • Smoothness of surface equivalent to minimum smoothness of boundary curves • Don’t provide higher continuity across boundaries
Hermite Coons Patches • Given any 4 curves, f(s,0), f(s,1), f(0,t), f(1,t) that meet continuously at the corners and cross-boundary derivatives along these edges , construct a smooth surface interpolating these curves and derivatives
Hermite Coons Patches • Use Hermite interpolation!!!
Hermite Coons Patches • Use Hermite interpolation!!!
Hermite Coons Patches • Use Hermite interpolation!!!
Hermite Coons Patches • Use Hermite interpolation!!! Requires mixed partials
Problems With Bezier Patches Derivatives along edges not independent!!!
Gregory Patch Evaluation Derivative along edge decoupled from adjacent edge at interior points
Gregory Patch Properties • Rational patches • Independent control of derivatives along edges except at end-points • Don’t have to specify mixed partial derivatives • Interior derivatives more complicated due to rational structure • Special care must be taken at corners (poles in rational functions)
Constructing Smooth Surfaces With Gregory Patches • Assume a network of cubic curves forming quad shapes with curves meeting with C1 continuity • Construct a C1 surface that interpolates these curves
Constructing Smooth Surfaces With Gregory Patches • Need to specify interior points for cross-boundary derivatives • Gregory patches allow us to consider each edge independently!!!

Constructing Smooth Surfaces With Gregory Patches • Problem: construction is not symmetric • is quadratic • is cubic
Constructing Smooth Surfaces With Gregory Patches • Solution: assume v(t) is linear and use to find • Same operation to find
Constructing Smooth Surfaces With Gregory Patches • Advantages • Simple construction with finite set of (rational) polynomials • Disadvantages • Not very flexible since cross-boundary derivatives are not full cubics • If cubic curves not available, can estimate tangent planes and build hermite curves
