Symmetric alteration of two knots of B-spline curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
B-spline curves are defined in a piecewise way over a closed interval, where the interval section points are called knots. In some recent publications geometrical properties of the modification of one knot value are discussed. The aim of this paper is to describe an effect of the symmetric modification of two knots.

A limit theorem for one-parameter alteration of two knots of B-spline curves∗
Knot modification of B-spline curves is extensively studied in the past few years. Altering one knot value, curve points move on well-defined paths, the limit of which can be computed if the knot value tends to infinity. Symmetric alteration of two knot values can also be studied in a similar way. The extension of these limit theorems for general synchronized modification of two knots is discus...
متن کاملSpline Knots and Their Control Polygons With Differing Knottedness
Spline knots based on Bézier curves or B-splines can exhibit a knot type that is different from that exhibited by its control polygon, i.e., the spline and its control polygon are not ambient isotopic. By forming composite knots from suitably designed building blocks the difference in knottedness of the two 1-manifolds can be made arbitrarily large.
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملAn Extension of Chaiken's Algorithm to B-Spline Curves with Knots in Geometric Progression
Chaiken's algorithm is a procedure for inserting new knots into uniform quadratic Bspline curves by doubling the control points and taking two successive averages. Lane and Riesenfeld showed that Chaiken's algorithm extends to uniform B-spline curves of arbitrary degree. By generalizing the notion of successive averaging, we further extend Chaiken's algorithm to B-spline curves of arbitrary deg...
متن کاملApproximate merging of B-spline curves via knot adjustment and constrained optimization
This paper addresses the problem of approximate merging of two adjacent B-spline curves into one B-spline curve. The basic idea of the approach is to find the conditions for precise merging of two B-spline curves, and perturb the control points of the curves by constrained optimization subject to satisfying these conditions. To obtain a merged curve without superfluous knots, we present a new k...
