  1. Introduction Curve Modelling Jack van Wijk TU Eindhoven

  2. Overview curve modelling • Parametric curves • Requirements • Concepts • Lagrangian interpolation • Bézier curve • B-spline • Cubic splines

  3. Parametric curves t p(t) p’(t)

  4. Tangent line to curve t s q(s) p(t) p’(t)

  5. Example q(s) s p’(t) t p(t)

  6. Curve modelling • Problem: How to define a smooth curve? • Solution: • Specify a sequence of points pi , i = 1,…, N, (control-points); • Generate a smooth curve that interpolates or approximates these control-points.

  7. Requirements • Smooth • no discontinuities in direction and curvature; • Local control • Change of a point should have only local effect; • Intuitive and easy to use • no oscillations, variation diminishing • Approximate or interpolate?

  8. Parametric interpolation

  9. Linear interpolation of two points p1 p2 t

  10. Linear interpolation of N points p5 p4 p3 p1 p2 t 1 wi 0 1 2 3 4 5 t

  11. Linear interpolation • Not Smooth • Local control • Intuitive and easy to use • Interpolate

  12. Lagrangian interpolation - 1

  13. Lagrangian interpolation - 2

  14. Lagrangian interpolation - 3

  15. Lagrangian interpolation - 4 • Smooth • no discontinuities in direction and curvature; • NO local control • Wild oscillations, not variation diminishing! • Interpolating

  16. Bézier curve - 1 • Puzzle: Define a smooth curve that interpolates the first and last point and approximates the others. p4 p3 p1 p2

  17. q1 q2 p(t) Bézier curve - 2 • Solution for N=3: p2 p1 p3

  18. p(t) Bézier curve - 3 • Solution for N=4: p2 p3 p1 p4

  19. Bézier curve - 4

  20. Bézier curve - 5

  21. Bézier curve - 6 General Bézier curve: • Degree = #points-1 • Smooth • no discontinuities in direction and curvature; • NO local control • Variation diminishing, convex hull property • Interpolates first and last, further approximating

  22. Convex hull property

  23. Convex hull property example Curve outside convex hull Curve inside convex hull

  24. B-splines • Piecewise polynomial, locally non-zero • Degree: user definable • Continuity: degree-1 • first degree: continuous in position • second degree: continuous in tangent • third degree: continuous in curvature

  25. Quadratic B-spline

  26. Cubic B-spline

  27. B-splines - 3 General B-spline: • Degree: from 1 to N-1 • Smooth (if degree > 1) • Local control • Variation diminishing, convex hull property • Approximating

  28. Cubic splines - 1 Most popular in Computer Graphics: • powerful • inflection points, continuity • simple • low degree polynomials • local control • Many versions: • Bézier, B-spline, Catmull-Rom,...

  29. Cubic splines - 2

  30. Cubic splines - 2

  31. Cubic splines - 3

  32. Tangent vector p’(t) p(t) t

  33. Significant values • p(0) : startpoint segment • p’(0) : tangent through startpoint • p(1) : endpoint segment • p’(1) : tangent through endpoint p’(0) p(1) t p’(1) p(0)

  34. Cubic Bézier curve p1 p2 p0 p3

  35. Joining two Bezier segments Positional continuity: p3= q0 Tangential continuity: p3- p2 // q1- q0 p1 p2 p3 q0 p0 q3 q1 q2

  36. Cubic B-spline curve p1 p2 p0 p3

  37. Conversion - 1

  38. Conversion - 2

  39. Puzzle 1: Hermite spline

  40. Puzzle 2: Limit on interpolation Find out why a curve that • interpolates the control points, • stays within the convex hull, • and is smooth cannot exist, both graphically and mathematically.

  41. Puzzle 3: Split Bezier curve • Find a recipe to split a cubic Bezier curve segment into two segments: p1 p2 q2 q3 q4 q1 q5 q6 p0 p3 q0

  42. Finally... • Curves: interpolation of points • Interpolation is generally applicable, f.i. surfaces: interpolation of curves • Demo program: www.win.tue.nl/~vanwijk/2M050/spline.exe
