Curvature-based blending of closed planar curves
A common way of blending between two planar curves is to linearly interpolate their signed curvature functions and to reconstruct the intermediate curve from the interpolated curvature values. But if both input curves are closed, this strategy can lead to open intermediate curves. We present a new algorithm for solving this problem, which finds the closed curve whose curvature is closest to the...
متن کاملCurves, Knots, and Total Curvature
Charles Evans We present an exposition of various results dealing with the total curvature of curves in Euclidean 3-space. There are two primary results: Fenchel’s theorem and the theorem of Fary and Milnor. Fenchel’s theorem states that the total curvature of a simple closed curve is greater than or equal to 2π, with equality if and only if the curve is planar convex. The Fary-Milnor theorem s...
متن کاملTotal Mean Curvature and Closed Geodesics
The proofs and applications are based on a Riemannian version of Gromov’s non-squeezing theorem and classical integral geometry. Given a convex surface Σ ⊂ R and a point q in the unit sphere S we denote by UΣ(q) the perimeter of the orthogonal projection of Σ onto a plane perpendicular to q. We obtain a function UΣ on the sphere which is clearly continuous, even, and positive. Let us denote the...
متن کاملEfficient Regularization of Squared Curvature
Curvature has received increased attention as an important alternative to length based regularization in computer vision. In contrast to length, it preserves elongated structures and fine details. Existing approaches are either inefficient, or have low angular resolution and yield results with strong block artifacts. We derive a new model for computing squared curvature based on integral geomet...
متن کاملVariation of the Total Normal Twist of Closed Curves
The existence of parallel mates to a given closed space curves in the sense of depends on its total normal twist, i.e. the angle of rotation of a normal vector subject to parallel transfer in the normal bundle after one period. Parallel mates exist ii this quantity is an integer multiple of 2. The aim of this note is to investigate the change of the total normal twist under isotopic deformation...
