Quasi-Aesthetic Curves in Rational Cubic Bézier Forms

چکیده
Designing aesthetically appealing models is vital for the marketing success of industrial products. In this paper, we propose quasi-Aesthetic Curves that can be used in CAD systems for aesthetic shape design. Quasi-Aesthetic Curves represented in rational cubic Bézier Forms are curves whose logarithmic curvature histograms (LCHs) become nearly straight lines. The monotonicity of curvature of quasi-Aesthetic Curves is checked by the proposed method. We generate quasiAesthetic Curves by approximating the Aesthetic Curves whose LCHs are strictly represented by straight lines. We show that one Aesthetic Curve segment whose change of tangential angle is less than 90 deg. can be replaced by one quasi-Aesthetic Curve segment guaranteeing the monotonicity of the curvature in most of practical situations.

An Optimal G^2-Hermite Interpolation by Rational Cubic Bézier Curves
In this paper, we study a geometric G^2 Hermite interpolation by planar rational cubic Bézier curves. Two data points, two tangent vectors and two signed curvatures interpolated per each rational segment. We give the necessary and the sufficient intrinsic geometric conditions for two C^2 parametric curves to be connected with G2 continuity. Locally, the free parameters w...
متن کاملCircular Approximation by Trigonometric Bézier Curves
Abstract—We present a trigonometric scheme to approximate a circular arc with its two end points and two end tangents/unit tangents. A rational cubic trigonometric Bézier curve is constructed whose end control points are defined by the end points of the circular arc. Weight functions and the remaining control points of the cubic trigonometric Bézier curve are estimated by variational approach t...
متن کاملCertified approximation of parametric space curves with cubic B-spline curves
Approximating complex curves with simple parametric curves is widely used in CAGD, CG, and CNC. This paper presents an algorithm to compute a certified approximation to a given parametric space curve with cubic B-spline curves. By certified, we mean that the approximation can approximate the given curve to any given precision and preserve the geometric features of the given curve such as the to...
متن کاملA Class of Quasi-Quartic Trigonometric BÉZier Curves and Surfaces
A new kind of quasi-quartic trigonometric polynomial base functions with a shape parameter λ over the space Ω=span {1, sint, cost, sint2t, cos2t} is presented, and the corresponding quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves and surfaces are defined by the introduced base functions. The quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves inherit most of properties similar to those of quartic Bézier curves...
متن کاملA Generalization of Rational Bernstein Bézier Curves
This paper is concerned with a generalization of BernsteinBézier curves. A one parameter family of rational BernsteinBézier curves is introduced based on a de Casteljau type algorithm. A subdivision procedure is discussed , and matrix representation and degree elevation formulas are obtained. We also represent conic sections using rational q-BernsteinBézier curves.
