3D class A Bézier curves with monotone curvature
This paper introduces a special class of 3D Bézier curves that are defined by their degree, a starting point, the first leg of their control polygons, and a 3D affine transformation composing of a uniform scaling and a rotation. We present new formulas for the curvature of such Bézier curves and bas...

| 總結: | This paper introduces a special class of 3D Bézier curves that are defined by their degree, a starting point, the first leg of their control polygons, and a 3D affine transformation composing of a uniform scaling and a rotation. We present new formulas for the curvature of such Bézier curves and based on the new formulas we derive sufficient conditions for the curves to have monotonic curvature. The conditions are expressed by a simple constraint on the rotation angle and the scaling factor. This facilitates constructing 3D Class A Bézier curves that are a generalization of planar typical curves proposed by Mineur et al. (1998), which are often used in automotive and other design applications. Some examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our construction. |
