Control Point Adjustment
Due to its local nature of
optimization,
SDM is sensitive to the
initial shape. To address this, we integrate
SDM with procedures for
automatically adjusting both the number and locations of the
control points of the active spline curve. This leads to a
method
[Yang et al. 2004] that is more robust and applicable
than
SDM used alone.
