Ship hull plate processing surface fairing with constraints based on B-spline

Abstract

The problem of ship hull plate processing surface fairing with constraints based on B-spline is solved in this paper. The algorithm for B-spline curve fairing with constraints is one of the most common methods in plane curve fairing. The algorithm can be applied to global and local curve fairing. It can constrain the pertubation range of the control points and the shape variation of the curve, and get a better fairing result in plane curves. In this paper, a new fairing algorithm with constraints for curves and surfaces in space is presented. The this method is applied to the experiments of ship hull plate processing surface. Finally numerical results are obtained to show the efficiency of this method.
