- I have an application where i need to find the area of a bicubic Coons
- patch. Is there a straight forward method to do this, or is it better
- to approximate it by subdividing the batch into rectangles, and finding
- the area of the rectangles?
-
- Any references to equations or algorithms would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance
