Abstract: We discuss how Dokken's methods of approximate implicitization can be applied to triangular B'ezier surfaces in both the original and weak forms. The matrices $mathbfD$ and $mathbfM$ that are fundamental to the respective forms of approximate implicitization are shown to be constructed essentially by repeated multiplication of polynomials and by matrix multiplication. A numerical approach to weak approximate implicitization is also considered and we show that symmetries within this algorithm can be exploited to reduce the computation time of $mathbfM.$ Explicit examples are presented to compare the methods and to demonstrate properties of the approximations.
