Cadt Basics

This document discusses Bezier curves and their properties. It covers topics such as proving that the blending functions of a Bezier curve sum to 1, the effect of collinear control points on the curve shape, reverse parameterization, writing the equation of a Bezier curve given its control points, truncating a curve to find the control points of the truncated section, and joining two curves with continuity conditions. Several examples are provided involving finding control points.

Bezier Curves

1. Prove that if the sum of the blending functions of a Bezier curve is one
for any value of u, [ 0 1 ]. Also prove that if all the control points are
collinear, the Bezier curve will reduce to a straight line.
2. What do you understand by reverse-parameterization? Prove that the
equation of Bezier curve remains unchanged under reverse-
parameterization.
3. A Bezier curve is defined by the following control points: p0, p1, p2, p3,
p4, p5. Write down the equation of the curve. If the control points p2,
p3, p4 coincide, what will be the effect on the shape of the curve and
why?
4. A parametric cubic curve is defined as follows:
0 1 1
3 2
() = {1} + { 3 } + {1} , [ 0 1] .
0 1 1

Find out the control points of an equivalent Bezier curve.


5. Find out a general matrix based solution for truncating a Bezier Curve
and finding out the control points of the truncated curve.
6. A Bezier curve having control points (0 0 0), (2,2,0) and (3 2 0) and (4 0 0)
is truncated between the parameters u=.2 and u=.4. Find out the control
points of the truncated Bezier curve.
7. A Bezier curve is represented by its control points as (0 0 0), (1 1 0), (2 2
0), (3 0 0) and (4 1 0). This curve is to be joined at the point (4 1 0) by a
cubic Bezier curve. The second curve must pass though a point
(7 0 0) and must have tangent vector at that point must be (1 1 0). Find
out the control points of the new Bezier curve.
