Special Issue on Recursive Subdivision

in Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling

Submissions due: January 31, 2001

Since their introduction in the 1970s to the computer graphics and

modeling community, recursive subdivision techniques have been a

central area of research, especially in the last two decades. They are

now well established tools in the definition of free-form surfaces

over arbitrary topology overcoming the rigid rectangular

requirement of the popular tensor product schemes. Extensive

research efforts have been going on to study the behavior of the

limit surfaces which have led to a wide variety of subdivision

algorithms and a series of  developments that made subdivision

surfaces practically usable in various domains.  These include

geometric modeling, cloth modeling, character animation,

rendering, multiresolution, fillets and blends, trimming, production,

etc. Not surprisingly, these surfaces have found their way into many

commercial systems and with more research efforts they are good

candidates to become the standard tools after NURBS. The journal

of Visual Computer will be publishing a special issue on aspects

of subdivision surfaces and their use in computer graphics and

modeling. Examples of topics of interest include but are not limited

to:

 

- Rendering of subdivision surfaces

- Intersection of subdivision surfaces

- Other interrogations of subdivision surfaces

- Multiresolution analysis and editing

- Subdivision surfaces in physical simulations

- Geometric modeling with subdivision

- New subdivision schemes
