Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces (2005)
Conference Proceeding
Li, Q. (2005). Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces. In Proceeding. Applied Simulation and Modelling (ASM 2005) (109 - 114)

In conventional spline geometric shape design, each part of a designed object always evolves the same number of con trol points. This has been a disadvantage of the spline based geometric shape design schemes as much more points than necessary may be... Read More about Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces.
