Regularity Analysis and Verification of Coons Volume Mappings
Analysis
This paper addresses a critical issue in 3D parametric modeling: ensuring the regularity of Coons volumes. The authors develop a systematic framework for analyzing and verifying the regularity, which is crucial for mesh quality and numerical stability. The paper's contribution lies in providing a general sufficient condition, a Bézier-coefficient-based criterion, and a subdivision-based necessary condition. The efficient verification algorithm and its extension to B-spline volumes are significant advancements.
