A novel generalization of Bézier curve and surface

A new formulation for the representation and designing of curves and surfaces is presented. It is a novel generalization of Bézier curves and surfaces. Firstly, a class of polynomial basis functions with n$n$ adjustable shape parameters is present. It is a natural extension to classical Bernstein basis functions. The corresponding Bézier curves and surfaces, the so-called Quasi-Bézier (i.e., Q-Bézier, for short) curves and surfaces, are also constructed and their properties studied. It has been shown that the main advantage compared to the ordinary Bézier curves and surfaces is that after inputting a set of control points and values of newly introduced n$n$ shape parameters, the desired curve or surface can be flexibly chosen from a set of curves or surfaces which differ either locally or globally by suitably modifying the values of the shape parameters, when the control polygon is maintained. The Q-Bézier curve and surface inherit the most properties of Bézier curve and surface and can be more approximated to the control polygon. It is visible that the properties of end-points on Q-Bézier curve and surface can be locally controlled by these shape parameters. Some examples are given by figures.     

An extension of the Bézier model

In this paper, we first construct a new kind of basis functions by a recursive approach. Based on these basis functions, we define the Bézier-like curve and rectangular Bézier-like surface. Then we extend the new basis functions to the triangular domain, and define the Bernstein-Bézier-like surface over the triangular domain. The new curve and surfaces have most properties of the corresponding classical Bézier curve and surfaces. Moreover, the shape parameter can adjust the shape of the new curve and surfaces without changing the control points. Along with the increase of the shape parameter, the new curve and surfaces approach the control polygon or control net. In addition, the evaluation algorithm for the new curve and triangular surface are provided.     

Developable Bézier-like surfaces with multiple shape parameters and its continuity conditions

To solve the problems of shape adjustment and shape control of developable surfaces, we propose two direct explicit methods for the computer-aided design of developable Bézier-like surfaces with multiple shape parameters. Firstly, with the aim of constructing Bézier-like curves with multiple shape parameters, we present a class of novel Bernstein-like basis functions, which is an extension of classical Bernstein basis functions. Then, according to the important idea of duality between points and planes in 3D projective space, we design the developable Bézier-like surfaces with multiple shape parameters by using control planes with Bernstein-like basis functions. The shape of the developable Bézier-like surfaces can be adjusted by changing their three shape parameters. When the shape parameters take different values, a family of developable Bézier-like surfaces can be constructed and they retain the characteristics of Bézier surfaces. Finally, in order to tackle the problem that most complex developable surfaces in engineering often cannot be constructed by using a single developable surface, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for G¹ continuity, Farin−Boehm G² continuity and G² Beta continuity between two adjacent developable Bézier-like surfaces. In addition, some properties and applications of the developable Bézier-like surfaces are discussed. The modeling examples show that the proposed methods are effective and easy to implement, which greatly improve the problem-solving abilities in engineering appearance design by adjusting the position and shape of developable surfaces.     

Curves and Surfaces Construction Based on New Basis with Exponential Functions

By incorporating two exponential functions into the cubic Bernstein basis functions, a new class of λμ-Bernstein basis functions is constructed. Based on these λμ-Bernstein basis functions, a kind of λμ-Bézier-like curve with two shape parameters, which include the cubic Bernstein-Bézier curve, is proposed. The C ¹ and C ² continuous conditions for joining two λμ-Bézier-like curves are given. By using tensor product method, a class of rectangular Bézier-like patches with four shape parameters is shown. The G ¹ and G ² continuous conditions for joining two rectangular Bézier-like patches are derived. By incorporating three exponential functions into the cubic Bernstein basis functions over triangular domain, a new class of λμη-Bernstein basis functions over triangular domain is also constructed. Based on the λμη-Bernstein basis functions, a kind of triangular λμη-Bézier-like patch with three shape parameters, which include the triangular Bernstein-Bézier cubic patch, is presented. The conditions for G ¹ continuous smooth joining two triangular λμη-Bézier-like patches are discussed. The shape parameters serve as tension parameters and have a predictable adjusting role on the curves and patches.     

New Trigonometric Basis Possessing Exponential Shape Parameters

Four new trigonometric Bernstein-like basis functions with two exponential shape parameters are constructed, based on which a class of trigonometric Bézier-like curves, analogous to the cubic Bézier curves, is proposed. The corner cutting algorithm for computing the trigonometric Bézier-like curves is given. Any arc of an ellipse or a parabola can be represented exactly by using the trigonometric Bézier-like curves. The corresponding trigonometric Bernstein-like operator is presented and the spectral analysis shows that the trigonometric Bézier-like curves are closer to the given control polygon than the cubic Bézier curves. Based on the new proposed trigonometric Bernstein-like basis, a new class of trigonometric B-spline-like basis functions with two local exponential shape parameters is constructed. The totally positive property of the trigonometric B-spline-like basis is proved. For different values of the shape parameters, the associated trigonometric B-spline-like curves can be $C^2$ ∩ $FC^3$ continuous for a non-uniform knot vector, and $C^3$ or $C^5$ continuous for a uniform knot vector. A new class of trigonometric Bézier-like basis functions over triangular domain is also constructed. A de Casteljau-type algorithm for computing the associated trigonometric Bézier-like patch is developed. The conditions for $G^1$ continuous joining two trigonometric Bézier-like patches over triangular domain are deduced.     

A new type of the generalized Bézier curves

In this paper, we improve the generalized Bernstein basis functions introduced by Han, et al. The new basis functions not only inherit the most properties of the classical Bernstein basis functions, but also reserve the shape parameters that are similar to the shape parameters of the generalized Bernstein basis functions. The degree elevation algorithm and the conversion formulae between the new basis functions and the classical Bernstein basis functions are obtained. Also the new Q-Bézier curve and surface...     

On the quartic curve of Han

The quartic curve of Han [X. Han, Piecewise quartic polynomial curves with shape parameter, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics 195 (2006) 34–45] can be considered as the generalization of the cubic B-spline curve incorporating shape parameters into the polynomial basis functions. We show that this curve can be considered as the linear blending of the original cubic B-spline curve and a fixed quartic curve. Moreover, we present the Bézier form of the curve, which is useful in terms of incorporating the curve into existing CAD systems. Geometric effects of the alteration of shape parameters is also discussed, including design oriented computational methods for constrained shape control of the curve.
