A Highly Accurate Approximation of Conic Sections by Quartic Bézier Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approximation method for conic section by quartic Bézier curves is proposed. This method is based on the quartic Bézier approximation of circular arcs. We give the upper bound of Hausdorff distance between the conic section and the quartic Bézier curve, and also show that the approximation order is eight. And we prove that our approximation method has a smaller upper bound than previous quartic Bézier approximation methods. A quartic G-continuous spline approximation of conic sections is obtained by using the subdivision scheme at the shoulder point of the conic section.

A Generalization of Rational Bernstein Bézier Curves
This paper is concerned with a generalization of BernsteinBézier curves. A one parameter family of rational BernsteinBézier curves is introduced based on a de Casteljau type algorithm. A subdivision procedure is discussed , and matrix representation and degree elevation formulas are obtained. We also represent conic sections using rational q-BernsteinBézier curves.

I. Introduction Rational spline is a commonly used spline function. In many cases the rational spline curves better approximating functions than the usual spline functions. It has been observed that many simple shapes including conic section and quadric surfaces can not be represented exactly by piecewise polynomials, whereas rational polynomials can exactly represent all conic sections and qua...
متن کاملGeometric characteristics of conies in Bézier form
Keywords: Conic sections Bézier curves Eccentricity Asymptotes Axes Foci In this paper, we address the calculation of geometric characteristics of conic sections (axes, asymptotes, centres, eccentricity, foci) given in Bézier form in terms of their control polygons and weights, making use of real and complex projective and affine geometry and avoiding the use of coordinates.

In this paper we present a G2 end-point interpolation of offset curves using rational Bézier curves of degree seven. The method is based on a G2 end-point interpolation of circular arcs using biquadratic Bézier curves. We also prove the invariance of the Hausdorff distance between two compatible curves under convolution. Using this result, we obtain the exact Hausdorff distance between an offse...
متن کاملNecessary and sufficient conditions for rational quartic representation of conic sections
Conic section is one of the geometric elements most commonly used for shape expression and mechanical accessory cartography. A rational quadratic Bézier curve is just a conic section. It cannot represent an elliptic segment whose center angle is not less than . However, conics represented in rational quartic format when compared to rational quadratic format, enjoy better properties such as bein...
