Using \(\mu \)-bases to implicitize rational surfaces with a pair of orthogonal directrices





A rational surface \(S(s,t)=(a(t)a^*(s),a(t)b^*(s),b(t)c^*(s),c(t)c^*(s))\) can be generated from two orthogonal rational directrices: \(P(t)=(a(t),b(t),c(t))\) in the \(xz\)-plane and \(P^*(s)=(a^*(s),b^*(s),c^*(s))\) in the \(xy\)-plane. Moving a scaled copy of the curve \(P^*(s)\) up and down along the \(z\)-axis with center at the origin, the surface \(S(s,t)\) is a surface of revolution. A new technique to implicitize this kind of rational surface using a \(\mu\)-basis is proved. Examples are presented to illustrate a proposed method.
