A silhouette curve can be found by substituting Eqs. (6)–(9) into Eq. (5). In fact, Eq. (5) is a polynomial equation of two variables u and v. In this scenario, there are fewer equality constraints than there are variables. Its zero-solution  set  can  be  computed based on the convex hull and subpision properties of rational spline functions. A set of discrete points approximating the zero set is generated by recursive subpision based on the Newton–Raphson method. The method to solve a general system of m polynomial equations of n variables is described by G. Elber and M.S. Kim [23].
