Abstract

Curve and surface fairing is crucial in computer-aided geometric design, influencing product quality, physical performance, and aesthetics. Traditional methods often apply global modifications, lacking fine-grained control. This paper introduces a novel progressive-iterative fairing method based on control point adjustment. By assigning independent weights to each control point, our approach enables precise, localized shape adjustments. The method functions both globally and locally, allowing for comprehensive shape fairing and fine control over the fairing effect. Furthermore, this paper provides an automatic control point selection method to adjust shapes, thereby eliminating the reliance on manual interaction. Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach.
