Dive into the world of Bézier splines, exploring blossoming algorithms, diagonal properties, and degree elevation while modeling complex shapes with Ck continuity and tangential conditions. Get ready for B-spline basis functions and uniform B-splines in the next session!
E N D
Overview • blossoming • algorithms for Bézier curves • Bézier splines
Blossoming • replace univariate polynomial by multivariate function (blossom) • symmetric • multiaffine • diagonal property • each polynomial has a unique blossom
Algorithms • subdivision • converges quadratically • degree elevation • proves variation diminishing property • converges, too, but slowly • degree reduction
Bézier Splines • modelling complex shapes • Bézier curve of high degree • piecewise low degree curves • Ck continuity between Bézier curves • tangential condition • A-frame condition • Catmull-Rom splines
Next Session • B-spline basis functions • B-spline algorithms • uniform B-splines and subdivision • interpolation • approximation • B-spline surfaces
