ABSTRACT:
A system and method is provided for defining a bi-cubic spline surface in a computing environment. One operation in the method is creating a control mesh with a substantially rectangular structure. A further operation is inferring from the control mesh the tensor product B-spline basis functions for each control point. The surface can then be computed based on the basis functions and the control mesh.
