Generation of Discrete Bicubic G^1 B-Spline Ship Hullform Surfaces from a Given Curve Network Using Virtual Iso-Parametric Curves

  • We propose a method that automatically generates discrete bicubic G^1 continuous B-spline surfaces thatinterpolate the curve network of a ship hullform. First, the curves in the network are classified into two types: boundary curves and ``reference curves''. The boundary curves correspond to a set of rectangular (or triangular) topological type that can be represented with tensor-product (or degenerate) B-spline surface patches. Next, in the interior of the patches, surface fitting points and cross boundary derivatives are estimated from the reference curves by constructing ``virtual'' iso-parametric curves. Finally, a discrete G^1 continuous B-spline surface is generated by a surface fitting algorithm. Several smooth ship hullform surfaces generated from curve networks corresponding to actual ship hullforms demonstrate the quality of the method.
