چکیده
We review the theory of homogeneous splines and their relationship to special rational splines considered by J. SS anchez{Reyes and independently by P. de Casteljau who called them focal splines. Applying an appropriate duality, we transform focal splines into a remarkable class of rational curves with rational oosets. We investigate geometric properties of these dual focal splines, and discuss applications to curve design problems.

متن کاملModelling of curves in polar and Cartesian coordinates
A new class of spline curves in polar coordinates has been presented in 12] and independently considered in 3]. These are rational trigonometric curves in Cartesian coordinates and can be represented as NURBS. From the relationship existing with the correspondent curves in Cartesian coordinates an alternative way to derive some useful tools for modelling splines in polar coordinates has been pr...
متن کاملAn 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 کاملGeometric Motion
We describe the use of rational B{spline motions for the solution of motion design problems. It is shown that such motions possess two kinds of control structures suitable for interactive design or geometry processing, respectively. A main advantage of the proposed technique over previous approaches is that it is built directly onto standard CAD algorithms and thus it inherits their advantages....
متن کاملComplexity Reduction for Symbolic Computation with Rational B-splines
Symbolic computation of NURBS plays an important role in many areas of NURBSbased geometric computation and design. However, any nontrivial symbolic computation, especially when rational B-splines are involved, would typically result in B-splines with high degrees. In this paper we develop degree reduction strategies for NURBS symbolic computation on curves. The specific topics we consider incl...
