Abstract:

It is easy to texture map a surface model with triangular or rectangular patches. However, it is not so for irregular topology models with irregular patches (n-sided patches where n > 4) due to lack of proper global parameters for these irregular patches. In this chapter a texture mapping function capable of texturing an irregular surface model is proposed based on a spline surface model of irregular topology.
