Rational Bezier Simplices

Higher order Bézier circles

Rational Bezier and B-spline representations of circles have been heavily publicized. However, all the literature assumes the rational Bezier segments in the homogeneous space are both planar and (equivalent to) quadratic. This creates the illusion that circles can only be achieved by planar and quadratic curves. In this paper we show circles that are formed by higher order rational Bezier curv...

Bezier Curve Intersection Using Relief Perspective

Presented paper describes the method for finding the intersection of class space rational Bezier curves. The problem curve/curve intersection belongs among basic geometric problems and the aim of this article is to describe the new technique to solve the problem using relief perspective and Bezier clipping.

Variational design of rational Bezier curves and surfaces

The design of curves and surfaces in C.A.D. systems has many applications in car, plane or ship industry. Because they offer more flexibility, rational functions are often prefered to polynomial functions to modelize curves and surfaces. In this work, several methods to generate rational Bezier curves and surfaces which minimize some functionals are proposed. The functionals measure a technical...

Converting a Rational Surface to a Standard Rational Bernstein-Bezier Surface

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...
