Circular Approximation by Trigonometric Bézier Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract—We present a trigonometric scheme to approximate a circular arc with its two end points and two end tangents/unit tangents. A rational cubic trigonometric Bézier curve is constructed whose end control points are defined by the end points of the circular arc. Weight functions and the remaining control points of the cubic trigonometric Bézier curve are estimated by variational approach to reproduce a circular arc. The radius error is calculated and found less than the existing techniques.

A Class of Quasi-Quartic Trigonometric BÉZier Curves and Surfaces
A new kind of quasi-quartic trigonometric polynomial base functions with a shape parameter λ over the space Ω=span {1, sint, cost, sint2t, cos2t} is presented, and the corresponding quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves and surfaces are defined by the introduced base functions. The quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves inherit most of properties similar to those of quartic Bézier curves...

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...
متن کاملCurvature-Continuous Offset Approximation Based on Circle Approximation using Biquadratic Bézier Curves
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 کاملQuartic 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, ...
