Abstract

This article presents an efficient and robust algorithm that computes the intersection curve of two ruled surfaces. The surface intersection problem is reformulated as a zero-set finding problem for a bivariate function, which is also equivalent to the construction of an implicit curve in the plane. Each connected component of the surface intersection curve corresponds to a connected component in the zero-set, and vice versa, except for some singular points, redundant solutions, and degenerate cases. We also present algorithms that detect all these singular points, redundant solutions, and degenerate cases.
