Abstract
We present an approach of computing the intersection curve of two rational parametric surface and , one being projectable and hence can easily be implicitized. Plugging the parametric surface to the implicit surface yields a plane algebraic curve . By analyzing the topology graph of and the singular points on the intersection curve we associate a space topology graph to , which is homeomorphic to and therefore leads us to an approximation for in a given precision.
