Title: Isophotes of Approximately Continuous Surfaces

Abstract: In this talk, I will present the work I've been doing towards my Master's thesis. I will use a well-known surface evaluation technique to determine the usefulness of approximate continuity. The notion of approximate continuity is interesting because it relaxes the conditions that are otherwise required in constructing a C^1 surface. Certain applications can benefit from this idea whenthe resulting surfaces still behave well.
