Abstract:
Techniques of refining a model of a complex surface can include deriving a set of refinement rules based on eigen polyhedra in a plane. Such rules reduce the refinement of a mesh in the plane to a scale and translation of the eigen polyhedron. Such refinement rules may then be applied to a non-uniform mesh in three-dimensional space having an extraordinary point in place of conventional refinement rules used in Catmull-Clark surfaces or NURBS surfaces. When these refinement rules are applied to a non-uniform mesh having an extraordinary point, the limiting surface is G 1  at the extraordinary point, i.e., the tangent surfaces of the limiting mesh are continuous at the extraordinary point.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of edges has a length equal to a respective knot interval of a plurality of knot intervals from the vertex, each of the plurality of knot intervals being equal to other knot intervals of the plurality of knot intervals.
