Abstract : In this paper we introduce an intermediate representation of surfaces that we call semi-implicit. We give a general definition in the language of projective complex algebraic geometry, and we begin its systematic study with an effective view point. Our last section will apply this representation to investigate the intersection of two bi-cubic surfaces, these surfaces are widely used in Computer Aided Geometric Design.
