For a parametric surface and a scalar implicit equation , set . At a regular transversal intersection, , and is a parameter tangent vector. Normalize its image under to choose physical arc length steps. A predictor followed by Newton method correction of and a transverse plane equation gives a local continuation method. Certified patch bounds are useful for finding seeds; corner signs alone do not detect a closed intersection entirely inside a patch.
