In this paper, we present the exact Hausdorff distance between the offset curve of quadratic Bézier curve and its quadratic GC1 approximation. To illustrate the formula for the Hausdorff distance, we give an example of the quadratic GC1 approximation of the offset curve of a quadratic Bézier curve. 1. Preliminaries Quadratic Bézier curves and their offset curves are widely used in CAD/CAM or Co...

Well-defined image can assist user to identify region of interest during segmentation. However, complex medical image is usually characterized by poor tissue contrast and low background luminance. The contrast improvement can lift image visual quality, but the fundamental contrast enhancement methods often overlook the sudden jump problem. In this work, the proposed bihistogram Bezier curve con...

The main objective of this paper is to find a path for the robot arm from its given start point to its desired goal point in an automated manner without collision with the obstacles. This paper investigates the problem of path planning for a 5 axis robot, operating in environment with obstacles whose boundaries are enveloped by cubic shape. The path planning approach presented is developed in t...

.This paper is concerned with the range restricted interpolation of 'data on rectangular grids. The interpolant is constrained to lie on the same side of the constraint surface as the data. Sufficient non-negativity conditions on the Bezier ordinates are derived to ensure the non-negativity of a bicubic Bezier patch. The method modifies Bezier ordinates locally to fulfill the sufficient non-neg...

This paper proposes a time optimal path planning while considering the physical constraints of wheeled mobile robots along a high curvature Bezier curve. The proposed algorithm overcomes drawbacks of preceding results. A trajectory produced through acceleration limits showed long traveling time, non-uniform sampling time and unsatisfied terminal velocity. A convolution-based method to consider ...

A method is presented to interpolate real affine plane curves with second degree NURBS (Non Uniform Rational Bezier Splines). The curve into object is initially partitioned into an arbitrary number of arcs. Then each arc is approximated with a conic section passing thru its extremes, thru a third intermediate point and being tangent to the arc at the extremes. Each arc is then parameterized by ...
