Visualizing High-Order Surface Geometry
Pushkar Joshi, Carlo Séquin
U.C. Berkeley
Clarification• This talk is NOT about a new CAD tool;
but it describes a “Meta-CAD tool.”
• This talk is NOT about designing surfaces; it is about understanding smooth surfaces.
This Presentation• Convey geometrical insights via a
visualization tool for basic surface patches.
• Give a thorough understanding of what effects higher-order terms can produce in smooth surfaces.
Visualizing Shape at Surface Point
Shape of small patch centered at surface point
• Build intuition behind abstract geometric concepts
• Applications: differential geometry, smoothness metrics, identifying feature curves on surfaces

Open Questions• What is the right way to measure “total curvature variation” ?
– Should one average in-line normal curvature in all directions ?
• How many independent 3rd degree terms are there ?
– Does MVScross capture all of them, – with the best weighting ?
– Gravesen et al. list 18 different 3rd-degree surface invariants !
• How do these functionals influence surface shapes ?– Which functional leads to the fairest, most pleasing shape ?
• Which is best basis for capturing all desired effects ?– What is the geometrically simplest way to present that basis ?
Draw inspiration from principal curvatures and directions,which succinctly describe second-degree behavior.
Visualizing 2nd Degree Shape
Flat Parabolic
Hyperbolic Elliptic
Principal curvatures (κ1, κ2) and principal directions (e1, e2) completely characterize second-order shape.
Can we find similar parameters for higher-order shape?
Understanding the 2nd Degree Terms• Analyze surface curvature in a cylindrical coordinate system
centered around the normal vector at the point of interest.
• Observe: offset sine-wave behavior of curvature around you, with 2 maxima and 2 minima in the principal directions.
Curvature as a function of rotation angle around z-axis:z = n

Surface is modified by changing polynomial coefficients or Fourier coefficients. Changing one set of coefficients automatically changes the other set.
