ABSTRACT

Calculation results and quality of description will be examined on a description of complex testhull form of typical car-truck carrier.

2 HULL SURFACE RECONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS

One of the main goals of any hull geometry description is extraction of their specific properties like form discontinuities, i.e. knuckles and form breaks, simultaneously keeping smoothness of description where necessary. When radial basis functions are used for solving hull surface reconstruction problem, they belong to positive definite Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHS), that ensure pointwise convergence and have ortho-normal bases, Fasshauer (2007).
