Intersect Offsets of Parametric Surfaces with Branch Analysis
Based on the methods for solving contouringproblem, we present an algorithm to compute theintersection of offsets of parametric surfaces robustly,accurately and efficiently. By first determining thetopology of intersection, the algorithm makes tracingprocess smoothly. Resulting intersection curves is givenin form of the trajectory of the parametric domains ofthe original surfaces, no approximation of offset surfaceis needed. The algorithm also does not need to inversethe 3D intersection to 2D parametric domains. Theintersection is defined by a single parameter in interval0,1.The algorithm have been implemented and tested.It can overcome the degenerate conditions such as loop leaking, branch jumping, and disorder tracing, and it can also calculate the intersection robustly and accurately.
