Interpolation method for quaternionic-Bezier curves

Bezier curves

i=0 aix , ai ∈ R. We will denote by πn the linear (vector) space of all such polynomials. The actual degree of p is the largest i for which ai is non-zero. The functions 1, x, . . . , x form a basis for πn, known as the monomial basis, and the dimension of the space πn is therefore n + 1. Bernstein polynomials are an alternative basis for πn, and are used to construct Bezier curves. The i-th Be...

Dynamic Bezier curves for variable rate-distortion

Bezier curves (BC) are important tools in a wide range of diverse and challenging applications, from computer aided design to generic object shape descriptors. A major constraint of the classical BC is that only global information concerning control points (CP) is considered, consequently there may be a sizeable gap between the BC and its control polygon (CtrlPoly), leading to a large distortio...

Approximating rational Bezier curves by constrained Bezier curves of arbitrary degree

In this paper, we propose a method to obtain a constrained approximation of a rational Bézier curve by a polynomial Bézier curve. This problem is reformulated as an approximation problem between two polynomial Bézier curves based on weighted least-squares method, where weight functions ρ(t) = ω(t) and ρ(t) = ω(t) are studied respectively. The efficiency of the proposed method is tested using so...
