4. Technical Presentation

Robin Liu	Title : Improve Gaussian curvature for surface fitting Abstract When fitting a parametric surface over the given data set using B\'ezier pactches, the control points are adjusted to improve the shape quality of the result surface. Today I will talk about how to improve the Gaussian curvature around the data points. Yeah, there will be some math, take a nap if you feel bored.
