HERMITE CURVES & BEIZER
CURVES
 A Hermite curve is a curve for which the user provides:
 The endpoints of the curve
 The parametric derivatives of the curve at the endpoints (tangents with
length)
 The parametric derivatives are dx/dt, dy/dt, dz/dt
 That is enough to define a cubic Hermite spline, more derivatives are
required for higher order curves.
Hermite curves
 A cubic spline has degree 3, and is of the form:
 For some constants a, b, c and d derived from the control points
Hermite curves
Constraints:
The curve must pass through p1 when t=0
The derivative must be ∆p1 when t=0
The curve must pass through p2 when t=1
The derivative must be ∆p2 when t=1

Properties of Bezier Curve
 They generally follow the shape of the control polygon, which consists of the segments joining the
control points.
 They always pass through the first and last control points.
 They are contained in the convex hull of their defining control points.
 The degree of the polynomial defining the curve segment is one less that the number of defining
polygon point. Therefore, for 4 control points, the degree of the polynomial is 3, i.e. cubic polynomial.
 The direction of the tangent vector at the end points is same as that of the vector determined
by first and last segments.
 The convex hull property for a Bezier curve ensures that the polynomial smoothly follows the
control points.
 Bezier curves exhibit global control means moving a control point alters the shape of the
whole curve.
Properties of Bezier Curve
Examples
 B-splines automatically take care of continuity, with
exactly one control vertex per curve segment
 Many types of B-splines: degree may be different
(linear, quadratic, cubic,…) and they may be uniform
or non-uniform
 With uniform B-splines, continuity is always one
degree lower than the degree of each curve piece
 Linear B-splines have C0 continuity, cubic
have C2, etc
B-Splines – (Basis Spline)
Hermit curves & beizer curves
B-Spline – Analytical Definition
normally called the “Knot Sequence”.
Contd..
The Ni,k functions are described as follows
 The sum of the B-spline basis functions for any parameter value is 1.
 Each basis function is positive or zero for all parameter values.
 Each basis function has precisely one maximum value, except for k=1.
 The maximum order of the curve is equal to the number of vertices of
defining polygon.
 The degree of B-spline polynomial is independent on the number of vertices
of defining polygon.
 B-spline allows the local control over the curve surface because each vertex
affects the shape of a curve only over a range of parameter values where its
associated basis function is nonzero.
Properties of B-Spline Curves
Bezier Curve vs B-Spline - Control
The choice of a knot vector directly influences the resulting curve.
Types of Knot vectors
 Uniform (periodic)
 Open-Uniform
 Non-Uniform
Knot Vectors
 Open curves expect that do not passes through the first and last
control points and therefore are not tangent to the first and last
segment of the control polygon.
 Closed curves where the first and last control points curve
connected. Closed curves with the first and last control point
being the same (coincident ).
Open and closed B-spline curves
 When the spacing between knot values is constant, the
resulting curve is called a uniform B-spline.
 The spacing between knot values is not constant and hence
,any values and intervals can be specified for the knot vector
the curve is called a non uniform B-spline .
 Different intervals which can be used to adjust spline shapes .
Uniform and non uniform B-spline curves
Hermit curves & beizer curves
 Rational curves is defined as ratio of two polynomials.
 Non rational curves is defined by one polynomials.
 The most widely used rational curves are non uniform rational
B-splines (NURBS)
 NURBS is capable of representing in a single form non –rational
B-splines and Bezier curves as well as linear and quadratic
analytic curves.
Rational Curves
 Add weights to each points
 Unweighted :
 Where
 Weighted
NURBS- Non Uniform Rational B-
Splines
NURBS
 Rational curve can handle both analytical and synthetic curves.
 Rational curve represents a point with homogenous coordinate
system where a 3D coordinate system is expressed as (wi x, wi
y ,wi z,wi).
 Using same control points with different weights ,different
curves can be generated.
 The weight associated with each control point can affect the
curve locally and the curve is pulled towards the control point
with increases valued of its weight wi.
