Data reduction and knot removal for non-uniform B-spline surfaces

B-Spline curves and surfaces are being used throughout the aircraft industry for geometric modeling. Geometric models having accurate surface representations in the non-uniform B-Spline surface format can contain very large quantities of data. The computing power required by a CAD system for visuali...
