The Curvature of a Bézier Control Polyline
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of differential geometry in describing a curve can not be denied. The differential forms defined for Bézier curves which are widely used in computer aided geometric design, plays a significant role in classification and image processing of curves. For this reason, the definitions such as Serret-Frenet frame, curvature and torsion which are described for Bézier curves are very important in computer aided geometric design. In this paper, in addition to these definitions we have also defined a new classification by applying angular curvature used for planar curves in computational geometry to Bézier control polygon. Key WordsBézier curves, blossom, line curvature.

Discrete Curvature and Torsion-based Parameterization Scheme for Data Points
Parameterization for data points is a fundamental problem in the field of Computer Aided Geometric Design. Recently, an improved centripetal parameterization technique is proposed by Fang et al and its superiority to other common methods, such as uniform method, chord length method, centripetal method, Foley method and universal method, etc., is validated by a lot of numerical examples. In this...
متن کاملSIMPLIPOLY: Curvature-based polygonal curve simplification
A curvature-based algorithm to simplify a polygonal curve is described, together with its implementation. The so-called SimpliPoly algorithm uses Bézier curves to approximate pieces of the input curve, and assign curvature estimates to vertices of the input polyline from curvature values computed for the Bézier approximations. The implementation of SimpliPoly is interactive and available freely...
متن کاملInterpolatory Subdivision Curves via Diffusion of Normals
In this paper, we propose a new interpolatory subdivision scheme for generating nice-looking curvature-continuous curves of round shapes. The scheme is based on a diffusion of normals. Given a subdivided polyline, the new polyline vertices inserted at the the splitting step are updated in order to fit diffused (averaged with appropriate weights) normals. Although the resulting interpolatory sub...
متن کاملA controlled clothoid spline
A clothoid has the property that its curvature varies linearly with arclength. This is a useful feature for the path of a vehicle whose turning radius is controlled as a linear function of the distance travelled. Highways, railways and the paths of car-like robots may be composed of straight line segments, clothoid segments and circular arcs. Control polylines are used in computer aided design ...
متن کاملQuasi-Aesthetic Curves in Rational Cubic Bézier Forms
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 qu...
