N2 - This paper addresses some properties of G1 continuity conditions between two B-spline surfaces with arbitrary degrees and generally structured knots. Key issues addressed in the paper include necessary G1 continuity conditions between two B-spline surfaces, general connecting functions, continuities of the general connecting functions, and intrinsic conditions of the general connecting functions along the common boundary. In general, one may use piecewise polynomial functions, i.e. B-spline functions, as connecting functions for G1 connection of two B-spline surfaces. Based on the work reported in this paper, some recent results in literature using linear connecting functions are special cases of the general connecting functions reported in this paper. In case that the connecting functions are global linear functions along the common boundary commonly used in literature, the common boundary degenerates as a Bézier curve for proper G1 connection. Several examples for connecting two uniform biquadratic B-spline surfaces with G1 continuity are also presented to demonstrate the results. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
