Abstract A surface-surface intersection algorithm is an important element in the development of a geometric modeler. This paper presents a new algorithm for calculating the intersection curves of two parametric surfaces. Combining the merits of subdivision and global exploration methods, this algorithm is efficient and robust in dealing with the issues related to small loops and singularities. This algorithm is demonstrated with examples of non-uniform rational B-spline surfaces.

Due to unavoidable factors, heavy-tailed noise appears in satellite attitude estimation. Traditional Kalman filter is prone to performance degradation and even filtering divergence when facing non-Gaussian noise. The existing robust algorithms have limited accuracy. To improve the attitude determination accuracy under non-Gaussian noise, we use the centered error entropy (CEE) criterion to derive a new filter named centered error entropy Kalman filter (CEEKF). CEEKF is formed by maximizing the CEE cost function. In the CEEKF algorithm, the prior state values are transmitted the same as the classical Kalman filter, and the posterior states are calculated by the fixed-point iteration method. The CEE EKF (CEE-EKF) algorithm is also derived to improve filtering accuracy in the case of the nonlinear system. We also give the convergence conditions of the iteration algorithm and the computational complexity analysis of CEEKF. The results of the two simulation examples validate the robustness of the algorithm we presented.

Self-intersection of offsets of regular Be´zier surface patches due to local differential geometry and global distance function properties is investigated. The problem of computing starting points for tracing self-intersection curves of offsets is formulated in terms of a system of nonlinear polynomial equations and solved robustly by the interval projected polyhedron algorithm. Trivial solutions are excluded by evaluating the normal bounding pyramids of the surface subpatches mapped from the parameter boxes computed by the polynomial solver with a coarse tolerance. A technique to detect and trace self-intersection curve loops in the parameter domain is also discussed. The method has been successfully tested in tracing complex self-intersection curves of offsets of Be´zier surface patches. Examples illustrate the principal features and robustness characteristics of the method.

With the help of the Frenet frame of a given pseudo null curve, a family of parametric surfaces is expressed as a linear combination of this frame. The necessary and sufficient conditions are examined for that curve to be an isoparametric and asymptotic on the parametric surface. It is shown that there is not any cylindrical and developable ruled surface as a parametric surface. Also, some interesting examples are illustrated about these surfaces.
