Project Title
Implicit to NURBS conversion
Brief Summary
At present, BRL-CAD has implemented lots of geometric primitives in a implicit form, but when it comes to interactive shaded displays and conversion to other formats, the disadvantages of implicit primitives come out. So we need a conversion to NURBS bundary representations. Lots of primitives have already been implemented as NURBS, but some are not robust and some still need to be improved. This summer, if I'm accepted, I'm going to accomplish the goal of converting all (if needed) implicit primitives to NURBS, fixing the bugs and correcting the errors existing now, and add new conversions that have not been implemented yet. The original version is a good starting point.
Detailed Description
Introduction
Although I have read a few books on Computer Graphics, I'm not very familiar with NURBS/BREP before I started preparing for the application. These days I have read a lot of materials relevant and read the codes of BRL-CAD, so now I have a deeper understand of what I'm going to do in this project. Below is my detailed proposal for the project. The first part...
