The present studies on the extension of B-spline mainly focus on Bezier methods and uniform B-spline and are confined to the adjustment role of shape parameters to curves. Researchers pay little attention to nonuniform B-spline. This paper discusses deeply the extension of the quasi-uniform B-spline curves. Firstly, by introducing shape parameters in the basis function, the spline curves are defined in matrix form. Secondly, the application of the shape parameter in shape design is analyzed deeply. With shape parameters, we get another means for adjusting the curves. Meanwhile, some examples are given. Thirdly, we discuss the smooth connection between adjacent B-spline segments in detail and present the adjusting methods. Without moving the control points position, through assigning appropriate value to the shape parameter, C1 continuity of combined spline curves can be realized easily. Results show that the methods are simple and suitable for the engineering application.

The Given

In this paper a new kind of splines, called cubic trigonometric polynomial B-spline (cubic TP B-spline) curves with a shape parameter, are constructed over the space spanned by As each piece of the curve is generated by three consecutive control points, they posses many properties of the quadratic B-spline curves. These trigonometric curves with a non-uniform knot vector are C1 and G2 continuous. They are C2 continuous when choosing special shape parameter for non-uniform knot vector. These curves are closer to the control polygon than the quadratic B-spline curves when choosing special shape parameters. With the increase of the shape parameter, the trigonometric spline curves approximate to the control polygon. The given curves posses many properties of the quadratic B-spline curves. The generation of tensor product surfaces by these new splines is straightforward.

Trigonometric B-spline curves with shape parameters are equally important and useful for modeling in Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) like classical B-spline curves. This paper introduces the cubic polynomial and rational cubic B-spline curves using new cubic basis functions with shape parameter ξ∈[0,4]. All geometric characteristics of the proposed Trigonometric B-spline curves are similar to the classical B-spline, but the shape-adjustable is additional quality that the classical B-spline curves does not hold. The properties of these bases are similar to classical B-spline basis and have been delineated. Furthermore, uniform and non-uniform rational B-spline basis are also presented. C3 and C5 continuities for trigonometric B-spline basis and C3 continuities for rational basis are derived. In order to legitimize our proposed scheme for both basis, floating and periodic curves are constructed. 2D and 3D models are also constructed using proposed curves.

The B-spline curves, particularly trigonometric B-spline curves, have attained remarkable significance in the field of Computer Aided Geometric Designing (CAGD). Different researchers have developed different interpolants for shape designing using Ball, Bezier and ordinary B-spline. In this paper, quadratic trigonometric B-spline (piecewise) curve has been developed using a new basis for shape designing. The proposed method has one shape parameter which can be used to control and change the shape of objects. Different objects like flower, alphabet and vase have been designed using the proposed method. The effects of shape parameter and control points have been discussed also.

A T-B spline curves with a shape parameter λ is presented in this paper, which has simple structure and can be used to design curves. Analogous to the four B-spline curves, each curve segment is generated by five consecutive control points. For equidistant knots, the curves are C^2 continuous, but when the shape parameter λ equals to 0 , the curves are C^3 continuous. Moreover, this spline curve can be used to construct open and closed curves and can express ellipses conveniently.

Inserting new knots into B-spline curves is a well-known technique in CAGD to gain extra flexibility for design purposes. However, from a user's point of view, the insertion of knots is somewhat unsatisfactory since the newly generated control points sometimes show up in unexpected locations. The aim of this note is to show that these problems can be circumvented by inserting the control vertices directly, thus also providing a more natural user interface.

This paper presents a novel curve based algorithm of stereo vision to reconstruct 3D line-like objects. B-spline approximations of 2D edge curves are selected as primitives for the reconstruction of their corresponding space curves so that, under the assumption of affine camera model, a 3D curve can be derived from reconstructing its control points according to the affine invariant property of B-Spline curves. The superiority of B-spline model in representing free-form curves gives good geometric properties of reconstruction results. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate the validity of our approach.

In this contribution, we present the description of a B-spline curve. We deal with creation of its basis function as well as with creation of the curve itself from entered control points. Following the literature, we formed an algorithm for B-spline modelling and we used it for the planar and spatial curve. The planar curve is made of chosen points. The spatial curve approximates the trajectory of a real vehicle, which trajectory was obtained by the set of measured points. The modelled curve very exactly describes the polygon created from the linked control points. With the lowering degree of the curve, this one is more clamping to the given polygon and for the extreme case it is transformed to the polygon itself. The advantage of the B-spline curve use is, for example in comparison with a Bézier curve, high adaptability, which is expressed in its parameters - besides entered control points, these are knots generated on the curve and degree of the curve.

Fifth Order

This paper presents a method and an algorithm for the planning of collision-free paths through obstacles for robots end-effectors or autonomously guided vehicles. Fifth-order nonperiodic B-spline curves are chosen for this purpose. The main ideas are twofold: first, to avoid collision by moving around obstacles from the less blocking sides; and second, to assign two control points to all vertices of the control polygon. This method guarantees the generation of paths which have C3 continuity everywhere and satisfy the collision-free requirement. In addition, the obstacles can be of any shape, and the computational complexity and difficulty are relatively low. A computer code is developed for the implementation of this method. Case studies are given for illustration.
