A B-spline curve differs from a Hermite or B zier curve in that it usually consists of more than one curve segment. Each segment is defined and influenced by only a few control points, which are the ...

The missing portions of variables subjected to SPLINE or MSPLINE transformations are handled the same way as for OPSCORE, MONOTONE, UNTIE, and LINEAR transformations (see the previous section). The ...

New approaches to knot insertion and deletion are presented in this unique, detailed approach to understanding, analyzing, and rendering B-spline curves and surfaces. Computer scientists, mechanical ...

Chapter 5 explored the types of curves that are generated by a direct generalization of the constructive process first developed for conics in Example 3.16. The resulting curves are the B zier curves.
