The piecewise polynomial B-spline representation is a flexible tool in CAGD for representing and designing geometric objects. In the field of computer graphics (CG), computer-aided design (CAD), or computer-aided engineering (CAE), a very useful property for a given spline model is to have locally supported basis functions. This allows localized modification of the shape. Unfortunately this property can also become a serious disadvantage when the user wishes to edit the global shape of a complex object. Multiresolution representation is proposed as a solution to alleviate this problem. Various multiresolution methods are described for different B-spline models.
