Input of Log-aesthetic Curve Segments with Inflection End Points and Generation of Log-aesthetic Curves with G continuity

چکیده
The log-aesthetic curves include the logarithmic (equiangular) spiral, clothoid, and involute curves. Although most of them are expressed only by an integral form of the tangent vector, it is possible to interactively generate and deform them and they are expected to be utilized for practical use of industrial and graphical design. However, their input method proposed so far by use of three socalled control points can generate only an aesthetic curve segment with monotonic curvature variation and can not create a curve with the curvature-extremal point or the inflection point. Hence at first we propose a technique to input a log-aesthetic curve segment with an inflection point at its end. Then we propose a method to generate an log-aesthetic curve with G continuity from a sequence of 2D points input with, for example, a liquid crystal pen tablet.

Input of Compound-rhythm Log-aesthetic Curves
This paper proposes a method of inputting a planar log-aesthetic curve with compound-rhythm using four control points. The log-aesthetic curve does not exhibit any undulations of curvature as its curvature increases or decreases monotonically and it is suitable for practical product design. We report an method to input the compound-rhythm log-aesthetic curve made up of two log-aesthetic curve s...

This paper extends the previous work of generating monotonic-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments so that compound-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments are interactively generated. A compound-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segment is composed of two monotonic-rhythm log-aesthetic space curve segments whose logarithmic curvature and torsion graphs are represented by two connected lin...

متن کاملCircle to Circle Transition with a Single Ph Quintic Spiral
This paper theoretically describes how to compose a single Pythagorean hodograph (PH) quintic Bézier spiral segment, between two circles with one circle inside the other. A spiral is free of local curvature extrema, making spiral design an interesting mathematical problem with importance for both physical and aesthetic applications. The curvature of a spiral varies monotonically with arc-length...
متن کاملCubic Spiral Transition Matching G Hermite End Conditions
This paper explores the possibilities of very simple analysis on derivation of spiral regions for a single segment of cubic function matching positional, tangential, and curvature end conditions. Spirals are curves of monotone curvature with constant sign and have the potential advantage that the minimum and maximum curvature exists at their end points. Therefore, spirals are free from singular...
