Polygon Morphing and Its Application in Orebody Modeling

Table 2

The main steps of the method of morphing polygons and using Fourier parametrization.

(1) Transform the coordinates of and with matching vertices to local coordinates.
(2) Approximate the matching segments with the Fourier parameters.
(3) Interpolate the local origins.
(4) Interpolate the Fourier parameters.
(5) Reconstruct the interpolated intermediate polygons.
