Piecewise Quartic Trigonometric Polynomial B-Spline Curves With Two Shape Parameters

Abstract

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.

Geometric Modeling of Novel Generalized Hybrid Trigonometric Bézier-Like Curve with Shape Parameters and Its Applications

“…Sharma et al [22] developed the shapes and modeling of the cubic trigonometric Bézier curve with two different shape parameters. In [23,24], the basis functions and their geometric and parametric continuities were presented. Moreover, the various modelings by different curves and surfaces were also presented here.…”
