Abstract

A multi-sided hole in a surface can be filled by a sequence of nested, smoothly joined surface rings. We show how to generate such a sequence so that (i) the resulting surface is C^2 (also in the limit), (ii) the rings consist of standard splines of moderate degree and (iii) the hole filling closely follows the shape of and replaces a guide surface whose good shape is desirable, but whose representation is undesirable. To preserve the shape, the guided rings sample position and higher-order derivatives of the guide surface at parameters defined and weighted by a concentric tessellating map. A concentric tessellating map maps the domains of n patches to an annulus in R^2 that joins smoothly with a @l-scaled copy of itself, 0
