Prautzsch, Hartmut; Chen, Qi
Analyzing midpoint subdivision.
(English)
[J] Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 28, No. 7, 407-419 (2011). ISSN 0167-8396

The midpoint subdivision schemes form a class of subdivision schemes for arbitrary two-manifold meshes. It is observed that the midpoint subdivision surfaces are spline surfaces except for finitely many extraordinary points, which make the analysis of smoothness more difficult. {\it D. Zorin} and {\it P. Schröder} [Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 18, No. 5, 429--454 (2001; Zbl 0969.68155)] proved $C^1$ smoothness of midpoint subdivision surfaces of degree 2 to 9. The authors develop here a geometric framework, which enables them to prove $C^1$ continuity of midpoint subdivision surfaces of any degree greater than 1.
