  1. Morphing Rational B-spline Curves and Surfaces Using Mass Distributions Tao Ju, Ron Goldman Department of Computer Science Rice University

  2. Morphing • Transforms one target shape into another • Vertex Correspondence • Vertex Interpolation • Parametric curves and surfaces

  3. Linear Interpolation • Averaging in affine space t = 0 t = .25 • Uniform transition • Every point moves at same speed • Unsatisfactory artifacts • Flattening, wriggles, etc. t = .5 t = .75 t = 1

  4. Weighted Averaging • Interpolation using masses and geometric positions t = 0 t = .25 • Influence of relative mass • Larger mass has more impact • Different points morph at different speeds • Less flattening and wriggles t = .5 t = .75 t = 1

  5. Mass Rational B-splines • A rational B-spline curve of degree n

  6. Linear vs. Weighted Averaging

  7. Local Morph Control • Modification of mass distribution changes the morphing behaviorlocally • Re-formulate rational B-splines to permit assignment of auxiliary mass for morphing • Customizable morphing between fixed targets

  8. Local Morph Control • Modification of mass distribution changes the morphing behaviorlocally • Re-formulate rational B-splines to permit assignment of auxiliary mass for morphing • Customizable morphing between fixed targets

  9. Mass Modification • Transition curve • Normalized Distance curve

  10. Customize Morphing • Two easy steps (can be repeated) • Select time frame t0 • Edit the normalized distance curve (surface) • Real-time Morph editing environment • Fast computation • Calculations only involve simple algebra • Easy to use • User needs no knowledge of B-spline or mass

  11. Morph Editing GUI Control Points Selection Morph View Normalized Distance Surface Time (t)

  12. Conclusion • Contributions • Smooth, non-uniform morphing of rational B-spline curves and surfaces • Local morph control by modification of the associated mass distribution • User interface for real-time morph editing with no knowledge of B-spline required • Applications • Computer Animation • Model design

  13. Appendix - Mass Point • Definition: a non-zero massmattached to a pointP in affine space. • Notation: mP/m • Operations: • Scalarmultiplication • Addition

  14. Appendix – Auxiliary Masses • P(u) can be rewritten as • Where mp(u) is a new mass distribution function defined by • Here wk are auxiliary positive masses attached to each control point of P(u)

  15. Appendix – Compute Mass • Normalized distance between two curves P(u) and Q(u) with auxiliary masses wk and vk forms a degree n rational B-spline curve with control points Rk and weights Wk • Conversely, given Wk and Rk at t, we have
