Abstract
BE VISION is a package of FORTRAN programs for drawing orthographic views of combinations of plane and quadric surfaces. As input, the package takes rectangular coordinate equations specifying the surfaces plus a three-angle specification of the viewing direction. Output is a drawing on the Stromberg Carlson 4020 Microfilm Recorder. Many views of one scene may be obtained simply by changing the viewpoint.
The various subroutines of the package and their functions are described in this paper. It also gives numerous examples of pictures that were produced by BE VISION. The package has been in use since April 1964.

Inferring Solid Objects with Cylindrical Surfaces from Orthographic Views
ICCIMA '99: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Multimedia ApplicationsTwo-dimensional (2D) orthographic views are powerful representations of three-dimensional (3D) objects, and the construction of 3D solid objects from orthographic views is one of useful methods to generate geometric models. We have reported an ...
Blending quadric surfaces with quadric and cubic surfaces
SCG '87: Proceedings of the third annual symposium on Computational geometryWe show that a pair of quadric surfaces, M and N, may be blended (smoothly joined) using a quadric surface if and only if the pencil of M and N contains either a plane or a pair of planes. Under this condition, we derive the equations of quadric and ...
Solid model input through orthographic views
This paper describes the results of basic studies on procedures for creating solid models of component geometry from two-dimensional orthographic projections. An interactive graphic program was developed to allow the input of three orthographic views of ...
