Abstract:
A system, devices and methods to reduce the volume of data required to represent three-dimensional smooth cylindrical curves and to ray-trace these three-dimensional smooth cylindrical curves using a set of geometric primitives which have implicit curvature.

Claim (Index 12):
The system of  claim 11 , wherein the primitive generator generates the Dupin cyclide arcs by:\n calculating a normal vector extending from each of two consecutive line segments and using the intersection point of the vectors as a center point of a Dupin cyclide, a radius of the Dupin cyclide arc being the distance between the center point and a start point of one of the vectors; setting a local coordinate system of the Dupin cyclide such that an XY plane is the plane defined by the two normal vectors, the origin being at the intersection of the two normal vectors; choosing an orientation of the X axis (e.g., aligned with the normal vector to the first segment); setting a starting and ending angle of the Dupin cyclide arc so that the total arc angle is equal to the angle between the normal vectors; calculating radii at a start point and an end point of the Dupin cyclide arc by interpolation at points where the normal vectors extend from respective line segments using radii at each end of the respective line segments; and displacing the Dupin cyclide arc in the local XY plane until its end points lie on the polyline.
