Abstract
This article reviews the prevailing geometric modelling techniques, based o n Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS). Emphasis is placed on the most im portant properties of NURBS surfaces and the available techniques for model ling real natural or artificial objects given a cloud of three-dimensional data points on their surface, possibly taken from a scanning device.
