Publisher's Synopsis
A method for locally fairing uniform cubic B-spline curves and surfaces is presented. The algorithm uses an automated technique which detects undesirable geometric characteristics by using a local fairness criterion. The geometric entity is then smoothed using a method based on the repeated removal and insertion of the spline knots in the vicinity of the geometric irregularity.
