Smooth multiple B-spline surface fitting with Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces for extraordinary corner patches

Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm for simultaneously fitting smoothly connected multiple surfaces from unorganized measured data. A hybrid mathematical model of B-spline surfaces and Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces is introduced to represent objects with general quadrilateral topology. The interconnected multiple surfaces are G2 continuous across all surface boundaries except at a finite number of extraordinary corner points where G1 continuity is obtained. The algorithm is purely a linear least-squares fitting procedure without any constraint for maintaining the required geometric continuity. In case of general uniform knots for all surfaces, the final fitted multiple surfaces can also be exported as a set of Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces with global C2 continuity and local C1 continuity at extraordinary corner points.
