An Optimal G^2-Hermite Interpolation by Rational Cubic Bézier Curves

Abstract

In this paper, we study a geometric G^2 Hermite interpolation by planar rational<br /> cubic Bézier curves. Two data points, two tangent vectors and two signed curvatures<br /> interpolated per each rational segment. We give the necessary and the sufficient<br /> intrinsic geometric conditions for two C^2 parametric curves to be connected with G2<br /> continuity. Locally, the free parameters within a rational cubic Bézier curve should<br /> be determined by minimizing a maximum error. We finish by proving and justifying<br /> the efficiently of the approaching method with some comparative numerical and<br /> graphical examples.
