A cubic Bézier model with shape parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel extension of the cubic Bézier curve with two shape parameters is presented in this work. The proposed curve is still a cubic polynomial model, which has simpler structure than other similar models. The proposed curve has the same properties with the usual cubic Bézier curve and its shape can be adjusted by altering values of the two shape parameters while the control points are fixed. With the two shape parameters, the proposed curve can approach to its control polygon farther or closer. The corresponding surface with four shape parameters has the similar properties with the proposed curve and enjoys the shape adjustable property.

Quartic Trigonometric Bézier Curve with a Shape Parameter
Analogous to the cubic Bézier curve, a quartic trigonometric Bézier curve with a shape parameter is presented in this paper. Each curve segment is generated by four consecutive control points. The shape of the curve can be adjusted by altering the values of shape parameters while the control polygon is kept unchanged. These curves are closer to the control polygon than the cubic Bézier curves, ...
متن کاملConvex Surface Visualization Using Rational Bi- cubic Function
The rational cubic function with three parameters has been extended to rational bi-cubic function to visualize the shape of regular convex surface data. The rational bi-cubic function involves six parameters in each rectangular patch. Data dependent constraints are derived on four of these parameters to visualize the shape of convex surface data while other two are free to refine the shape of s...
متن کاملGear tooth designing with cubic Bézier transition curve
This paper describes the method of designing a Spur Gear Tooth using an S-shaped transition curve joining two tangent circles. For this purpose a single segment of cubic Bézier curve has been used as a transition between two tangent circles of same diameter. This transition curve not only maintains G Hermite like conditions but also guarantees not more than one inflection point in its curvature...
متن کاملShape Analysis of Planar Trigonometric Bézier Curves with Two Shape Parameters
The shape features of planar trigonometric Bézier curves with two shape parameters are analyzed. The necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for these curves having one or two inflection points, a loop or a cusp, or be locally or globally convex. All conditions are completely characterized by the relative position of the control polygon’s side vectors. Furthermore we discussed the influ...
