Abstract

Several hardware implementations of lines, circles, and polygons have been reported in the literature. However, the hardware implementation of parametric curves and patches has started to receive similar attention only recently. In this paper, a unified VLSI architecture for generating rational and nonrational uniform B-spline curves and patches is presented along with its performance evaluation. It is shown that this architecture overcomes several limitations of earlier hardware Solutions.
