Abstract: A convolution surface is an isosurface in a scalar field defined by convolving a skeleton, comprising of points, curves, surfaces, or volumes, with a potential function. While convolution surfaces are attractive for modeling natural phenomena and objects of complex evolving topology, the analytical evaluation of integrals of convolution models still poses some open problems. This paper presents some novel analytical convolution solutions for arcs and quadratic spline curves with a varying kernel. In addition, we approximate planar higher-degree polynomial spline curves by optimal arc splines within a prescribed tolerance and sum the potential functions of all the arc primitives to approximate the field for the entire spline curve.
