Surface design based on brightness intensity or isophotes-theory and practice

  • Chapter

Abstract

In this paper we will consider surface design through interactive improvements of image intensities of a current surface. Systems supporting this kind of design are immensely efficient tools, enabling operators quickly achieve surface shapes that may be unattainable with other means.

The problem that must be solved in this process is that of finding a surface from its image intensity and some boundary conditions. It is a non-linear boundary value problem that, unfortunately, may very well lack a smooth solution. The main issue of the paper is to find conditions that can be used in practice, ensuring useful solutions
