The fast reconstruction of the ship hull nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS) surface with uniform continuity is essential for calculating hydrostatic elements such as waterplane area and molded volume in real time. Thus, this study proposes a fast reconstruction model with uniform continuity to solve the problem of uniform continuity and splicing in the separate model of hull bow and stern surfaces. The proposed model includes the NURBS curve generation (UCG) algorithm with uniform continuity and the hybrid NURBS surface generation (HSG) algorithm. The UCG algorithm initially fits the feature points using the global interpolation algorithm and then precisely constructs straight-line segments in the curve using the improved flattening algorithm. In comparison, the HSG algorithm adaptively selects the surface knot vectors according to the parameters of the section curves. In this study, the profile of discontinuous compartments is uniformly expressed, effectively avoiding various articulation problems in separation modeling. The results of comparative experiments show that the NURBS surface generated using the HSG algorithm can accurately express the characteristics of various parts of the hull with uniform continuity, and the calculation speed of the proposed model can be increased by up to 8.314% compared with the existing best-performing algorithms. Thus, the proposed model is effective and can improve computational efficiency to a certain extent. The NURBS surfaces generated by the proposed model can be further applied to calculating the hydrostatic elements of hulls and compartments.
