Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): In this thesis, we present an algorithm of a cubic Hennite spline interpolation (CHSI) and apply it for constructing smooth curves and surfaces.
It is a fundamental problem in computer aided geometric design (CAGD).
As a result, this approach involves the extraction of the geometrical information in the area of computational geometry.
As expected, such study can be extended in other branches of computer science.

In this algorithm, a well-defined parametric curve is designed for representation of a set of discrete data.
With the help of a piecewise cubic spline, this avoids occurrence of unphysical oscillations like the so-called wiggly interpolation.
Mathematically, it preserves the smoothness of the surface and maintains the continuity with respect to first and second derivatives, respectively.
Additionally, the introduction of the Hennite function ensures simplicity and requirements with small memory and less computational time.
This leads to fast computations.
An essential feature in our algorithm lies that it can directly evaluate the tangent vectors, since such estimate sometimes becomes cumbersome when they tend to infinity.
In particular, this is desirable for design of the geometry in the region of interest.

The algorithm has been validated by the problems often encountered in computational geometry.
Four types of example demonstrate that our method is robust and simple due to the well-suited function specified; consequently, this provides the possibility for application of this algorithm in broad areas.
