Accurate B-spline Free-Form Deformation of Polygonal Objects

Free-form deformation is an important geometric shape modification method in computer animation and geometric modeling. We explore it by means of functional composition via shifting operators. Our method takes a polygonal model as input but yields a curved model described by triangular Bezier patches as output. The proposed method solves the sampling problem of free-form deformation.
