What is chord length parameterization? • Given a curve p(t), t ∈[a, b] If t =chord (t)= • So p(t) is chord-length parameterized.

Motivation: • Chord length parameterization has many useful properties: • Geometric parameter, unique; • No self-intersection; • Ease of point-curve testing; • Simplification of curve-curve/curve-surface intersecting.

Rational quadratic circles the standard form of a rational quadratic curve An arc of a circle c0, c1, c2 form an isosceles triangle with base c0, c2 v1 = cos
Chord length parametrization Rational quadratic circle segments in standard form: Its parametrization is not the arc length It is the chord length parametrization. It is the only one which is parametrized by chord length.

Rational curves • Each chord length parameterization is entirely determined by a unit-circular parameterization. • Bounded straight line segments are the only curves with the polynomial (linear) chord-length parameterization ( ≡ 0). • Unbounded straight line segments are the only curves having a rational linear chord-length parameterization ( ≡ π). • Circular arcs are the only curves admitting a rational quadratic chord-length parameterization with constant other than 0 and π.
