An algorithmic approach to degree reduction of interval B-spline curve is presented in this paper. The curves that are useful in geometric modeling should have a relatively smooth shape and should be intuitively connected with the path of the sequence of control points. One family of curves satisfying this requirement is represented by the B-spline curves. The four fixed Kharitonov's polynomial...

In this paper, we construct a matrix, which transforms a generalized C-Bézier basis into a generalized uniform algebraic-trigonometric B-spline (C-B-spline or UAT B-spline) basis. We also show that it is a totally positive matrix and give a normalized B-basis of the generalized UAT B-splines.  2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we propose a new interpolation technique using exponential B-spline, which is super-set of the Bspline. An interpolation kernel of exponential B-spline was proposed using IIR based technique by Unser. As another approach, this paper presents an exponential B-spline interpolation kernel using simple mathematics based on Fourier approximation. A high signal to noise ratio can be ac...

Non-uniform B-spline dictionaries on a compact interval are discussed in the context of sparse signal representation. For each given partition, dictionaries of B-spline functions for the corresponding spline space are built up by dividing the partition into subpartitions and joining together the bases for the concomitant subspaces. The resulting slightly redundant dictionaries are composed of B...

We propose a learning approach to designing fuzzy controllers based on the B-spline model. Unlike other normalised parameterised set functions for deening fuzzy sets, B-spline basis functions do not necessarily span from membership values zero to one, but possess the property \partition of unity". B-spline basis functions can be automatically determined after each input is partitioned. Learning...

In this research, second order linear two-point boundary value problems are treated using new method based on hybrid cubic B-spline. The values of the free parameter,Gamma , chosen via optimization. parameter plays an important role in giving accurate results. Optimization is carried out. This tested four examples and a comparison with B-spline, trigonometric B-spline extended methods has been ...

In this paper we propose a method to approximate a parametric 3 D-function by bicubic B-spline functions
