Undersurface feature change of the eagle-shaped plate. (a) Mapping relation of the feature model. The upper layer containing the feature parameters can be constructed based on the bone information. Through the component mapping and secondary mapping, the correspondence between the feature parameters and the underlying element is established, allowing the feature parameters to uniquely determine the feature geometric shape, (b) change of feature curves. The tail and head parameters change based on different principal component values. The feature curve approaches inward under the constraints of boundary and internal auxiliary feature curves, and (c) principal component values of numbered curves 1–5 shown in (b).
