    The authors give a matrix formulation and implementation of the de Casteljau algorithm and combine it with a type of Aitken acceleration to obtain a reasonably efficient method to compute the intersection of two Bézier-spline surfaces by subdividing until the surfaces are locally plane and can be intersected by linear methods.
