Abstract :
In the paper we propose a method to determine parameters that appear in algebraic surface blending. By minimizing the surface energy and adding some point restrictions, we can select the free parameters such that a blending surface with reasonable shape is constructed. The method seems to be extensible for other surface blending problems, although we concentrate on algebraic surface blending.
