Adjustable Bézier Curves with Simple Geometric Continuity Conditions

چکیده
This paper aims to simplify the continuity conditions of Bézier curves. For this purpose, a special family of Bézier curves with three parameters, to be called adjustable Bézier curves, is constructed. They have the same structure as the quartic Bézier curves. The newly constructed curves possess some of the basic properties of Bézier curves, such as the convex hull property, symmetry, geometric invariance, etc., and they have shape adjustability. Moreover, under the geometric continuity of order 1 (G1) conditions of the usual Bézier curves, the adjustable Bézier curves can reach geometric continuity of order k (Gk); here, k is one of the parameters of the newly constructed curves. The recursive evaluation algorithm of the new curves is provided. We also discuss how to construct the adjustable Bézier curves with a given tangent polygon. Numerical examples illustrate the correctness and validity of the proposed method.

Effective CG-merging of Two Bézier Curves by Matrix Computation
The merging of polynomial curves is frequently required when modeling the complex shape in geometric design and related applications. In this paper, we present an effective method for the CGmerging of two Bézier curves by using matrix computation. By minimizing the distance function defined in terms of control points, the optimal merged curve is obtained and expressed in the matrix form. Due to...
متن کاملWeighted G-Multi-Degree Reduction of Bézier Curves
In this paper, weighted G-multi-degree reduction of Bézier curves is considered. The degree reduction of a given Bézier curve of degree n is used to write it as a Bézier curve of degree m,m < n. Exact degree reduction is not possible, and, therefore, approximation methods are used. The weight function w(t) = 2t(1 − t), t ∈ [0, 1] is used with the L2-norm in multidegree reduction with G-continui...
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...

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 کاملInterpolatingrational Bézier Spline Curves with Local Shape Control
The paper presents a technique for construction of C interpolating rational Bézier spline curves by means of blending rational quadric Bézier curves. A class of polynomials which satisfy special boundary conditions is used for blending. Properties of the polynomials are considered. The constructed spline curves have local shape control that make them useful in such geometric applications as rea...
