A non-linear circle-preserving subdivision scheme (Q2463393)

The authors present a new method (based on nonlinear subdivision techniques) for refinement of sequences of points in the plane with associated unit normal vectors. The method is able to reproduce circles and is invariant under Euclidean similarities. Moreover, under certain conditions on the input, it generates a \(G^1\) curve. Computationally, although more complicated than those based on classical linear subdivision techniques, the method is relatively simple.
