Normal bounds for subdivision-surface interference detection

Subdivision surfaces are an attractive representation when modeling arbitrary-topology free-form surfaces and show great promise for applications in engineering design and computer animation. Interference detection is a critical tool in many of these applications. In this paper, we derive normal bounds for subdivision surfaces and use these to develop an efficient algorithm for (self-) interference detection.
