The representation of Bezier surfaces greatly affects the results of rendering and tessellation
applications. The orthogonality of iso-parameter curves is one of the most
important properties of the surface parameterization in differential geometry. The
only rational bilinear surface with orthogonal iso-parameter curves is a rectangle.
For Bezier surfaces of degree 2 × 2, we derive the explicit orthogonality condition of
their control points, by using which a scheme to construct surfaces with orthogonal
iso-parameter curves is then presented. Also the possible extension of the construction
scheme for Bezier surfaces of any degree is discussed. Examples are given to
show the performance of our algorithm for rendering and tessellation applications.
