Abstract

Toruses and double spheres are particular cases of Dupin cyclides. In this paper, we study the conversion of rational biquadratic Bézier surfaces into Dupin cyclide patches. We give the conditions that the Bézier surface should satisfy to be convertible, and present a new conversion algorithm to construct the torus or double sphere patch corresponding to a given Bézier surface, some conversion examples are illustrated and commented.
