Abstract

This paper proposes a new subdivision scheme based on line geometry. We name the scheme ‘line subdivision'. Line subdivision scheme acts on the line space, and generates two-dimensional manifolds contained in the Klein quadric. The two-dimensional manifolds are the Klein images of line congruences in P3. So, this new subdivision scheme generates line congruences at the limit. Here, we define the line subdivision surface as an envelope surface which is made by the line congruence. Then, this paper derives basic properties of the surface. Moreover, we show that line subdivision contains ordinary subdivision and dual subdivision.
