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.

Analogous to the quartic B-splines curve, a piecewise quartic trigonometric polynomial B-spline curve with two shape parameters is presented in this paper. Each curve segment is generated by three consecutive control points. The given curve posses many properties of the B-spline curve. These curves are closer to the control polygon than the different other curves considered in this paper, for different values of shape parameters for each curve. With the increase of the value of shape parameters, the curve approach to the control polygon. For nonuniform and uniform knot vector the given curves have C0, G3; C1, G3; C1, G7; and C3 continuity for different choice of shape parameters. A quartic trigonometric Bézier curves are also introduced as a special case of the given trigonometric spline curves. A comparison of quartic trigonometric polynomial curve is made with different other curves. In the last, quartic trigonometric spline surfaces with two shape parameters are constructed. They have most properties of the corresponding curves.

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.

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.

Abstract Curve plays a significant role in CAGD and brings the good impact of computers to manufacturing industries in designing 2 and 3-dimensional shapes and objects. Reconstruction of Chinese calligraphy outline based on the actual character is presented in this paper. Chinese calligraphy is the stylized artistic writings of Chinese characters. It is believed that this writing may help to express the feelings and ideas of the writers, which are difficult to be described. The shapes, smooth lines, and perfect curves are among the important qualities which are particularly emphasized in selecting good Chinese calligraphy. The Cubic B-Spline, Cubic Trigonometric Spline, and Cubic Trigonometric Bezier were used to generate the curves. The factors that have influenced the effects of the curves modifications were examined based on the changes of control polygon and the values of shape parameter. The fastest approach was then chosen by measuring the processing time required to construct the complete design. Results show the Cubic Trigonometric Bezier curve produced the closest curves to the control polygon, accurate to the actual character with λ = 1 and CPU time taken is 2.032 seconds. This is followed by Cubic Trigonometric Spline and Cubic B-Spline.

A quadratic trigonometric B-spline curve analogous to the standard quadratic uniform B-spline curve, with a shape parameter, is presented in this work. The shape of the proposed curve can be adjusted by altering the value of the shape parameter while the control polygon is kept unchanged. With the shape parameter, the quadratic trigonometric B-spline curve can be closer to given polygon than the standard quadratic uniform B-spline curve. The proposed curve can be used to accurately represent the ellipse.

A geometric modeling method based on TH-type uniform B-splines which are composed of trigonometric and hyperbolic polynomial with parameters is introduced in this paper. The new splines possess many important properties of quadratic and cubic B-splines. Taking different values of the parameters, one can not only locally adjust the shape of the curves, but also change the type of some segments of a curve between trigonometric and hyperbolic functions as well. The given curves can also interpolate directly control polygon locally by selecting special parameters. Moreover, the introduced splines can represent some quadratic curves and transcendental curves with selecting proper control points and parameters.

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.
