Least-Squares Fitting of Data with B-Spline Curves

Evolution-based least-squares fitting using Pythagorean hodograph spline curves

The problem of approximating a given set of data points by splines composed of Pythagorean Hodograph (PH) curves is addressed. We discuss this problem in a framework that is not only restricted to PH spline curves, but can be applied to more general representations of shapes. In order to solve the highly nonlinear curve fitting problem, we formulate an evolution process within the family of PH ...

A direct method to solve optimal knots of B-spline curves: An application for non-uniform B-spline curves fitting

B-spline functions are widely used in many industrial applications such as computer graphic representations, computer aided design, computer aided manufacturing, computer numerical control, etc. Recently, there exist some demands, e.g. in reverse engineering (RE) area, to employ B-spline curves for non-trivial cases that include curves with discontinuous points, cusps or turning points from the...

A graph-based method for fitting planar B-spline curves with intersections

The problem of fitting B-spline curves to planar point clouds is studied in this paper. A novel method is proposed to deal with the most challenging case where multiple intersecting curves or curves with self-intersection are necessary for shape representation. A method based on Delauney Triangulation of data points is developed to identify connected components which is also capable of removing...

NUAT B-spline curves

This paper presents a new kind of splines, called non-uniform algebraic-trigonometric B-splines (NUAT B-splines), generated over the space spanned by {1, t, . . . , tk−3, cos t, sin t} in which k is an arbitrary integer larger than or equal to 3. We show that the NUAT B-splines share most properties of the usual polynomial B-splines. The subdivision formulae of this new kind of curves are given...
