摘要

This paper shows that generic 2D-Free-Form Deformations of degree 1 x n can be made birational by a suitable assignment of weights to the Bezier or B-spline control points. An FFD that is birational facilitates operations such as backward mapping for image warping, and Extended Free-Form Deformation. While birational maps have been studied extensively in the classical algebraic geometry literature, this paper is the first to present a family of non-linear birational maps that are flexible enough to be of practical use in geometric modeling.
