Abstract

The presentation of Bézier surfaces affects the results of rendering and tessellating applications greatly. To achieve optimal parameterization, we present two reparameterization algorithms using linear Möbius transformations and quadratic transformations, respectively. The quadratic reparameterization algorithm can produce more satisfying results than the Möbius reparameterization algorithm with degree elevation cost. Examples are given to show the performance of our algorithms for rendering and tessellating applications.
