Even so, it is barely enough to produce a detailed and solid specifi-cation, and not enough to include research or exploration of totally new techniques. 2.

CS 536 Computer Graphics Bezier Curve Drawing Algorithms

smooth curve given a set of control points? • Developed by Paul de Casteljau at Citroën in the late 1950s • Idea: recursively subdivide the curve and add points to refine the number of control points Pics/Math courtesy of G. Farin @ ASU. 5 Recall: Linear Interpolation • Simple example – interpolating along the line between two points

and geometric definitions of B-splines. Starting with the definition of the normalized B-spline blending functions, these two researchers were able to develop the geometric definition of the B-spline. It is this calculation that is discussed in this paper. Definition of the B-Spline Curve A B-spline curveP(t), is defined by P(t) = Xn i=0 P ...

Splines - Sharif

Splines Mott, Fig. 11-6 Splines can be thought of as a series of axial keyways with mating keys machined onto a shaft. There are two major types of splines used in industry: 1) straight-sided splines, and 2) involute splines. Splines provide a more uniform circumferential transfer of torque to the shaft than a key.
