Bézier Curve for Trajectory Guidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present two path planning algorithms based on Bézier curves for autonomous vehicles with waypoints and corridor constraints. Bézier curves have useful properties for the path generation problem. The paper describes how the algorithms apply these properties to generate the reference trajectory for vehicles to satisfy the path constraints. Both algorithms join cubic Bézier curve segments smoothly to generate the path. Additionally, we discuss the constrained optimization problem that optimizes the resulting path for user-defined cost function. The simulation shows the generation of successful routes for autonomous vehicles using these algorithms as well as control results for a simple kinematic vehicle. Extensions of these algorithms towards navigating through an unstructured environment with limited sensor range are discussed.

Midcourse Trajectory Shaping for Air and Ballistic Defence Guidance Using Bezier Curves
A near-optimal midcourse trajectory shaping guidance algorithm is proposed for both air and ballistic target engagement mission attributes for generic long range interceptor missile. This guidance methodology is based on the maximum final velocity as the objective function and maximum permissible flight altitude as the in-flight state constraint as well as the head-on orientation as the termina...
متن کاملBézier Curve based Trajectory Planning for an Intelligent Wheelchair to Pass a Doorway
Door passing is the basic capability of an intelligent wheelchair. This paper presents a novel approach to address the door passing issue using Bézier curve based trajectory planning. The planed path consists of two segments: one from corridor to door and the other from door to the goal position. For each segment, an optimal Bézier curve is generated as a reference trajectory for an intelligent...

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...
