Abstract

We present algorithms for computing the differential geometry properties of intersection curves of two surfaces where the combination of two surfaces can be parametric-parametric, implicit-implicit and parametric-implicit. We derive unit tangent vector, curvature vector, binormal vector, curvature, torsion, and algorithms to evaluate the higher-order derivatives for transversal as well as tangential intersections for all three types of intersection problems.
