Generalized Fractional Bézier Curve with Shape Parameters

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
The construction of new basis functions for the Bézier or B-spline curve has been one of the most popular themes in recent studies in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD).

Extracting 3D parametric curves from 2D images of Helical objects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Helical objects occur in medicine, biology, cosmetics, nanotechnology, and engineering. Extracting a 3D parametric curve from a 2D image of a helical object has many practical applications, in particular being able to extract metrics such as tortuosity ...

A gymkhana to discover and generate curves in a cooperative work

open access: yesMultidisciplinary Journal for Education, Social and Technological Sciences, 2014
The student who access the University understands a curve as a function represented by an equality involving the Cartesian variables x and y. But he does not know another great set of curves such as those described by parametric equations and polar ...

Equiareal Parameterization of Triangular Bézier Surfaces

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
Parameterization is the key property of a parametric surface and significantly affects many kinds of applications. To improve the quality of parameterization, equiareal parameterization minimizes the equiareal energy, which is presented as a measure to ...

Nonparametric IV estimation of shape-invariant Engel curves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This paper concerns the identification and estimation of a shape-invariant Engel curve system with endogenous total expenditure. The shape-invariant specification involves a common shift parameter for each demographic group in a pooled system of Engel

A Comparative Study of Different Schemes Based on Bézier-like Functions with an Application of Craniofacial Fractures Reconstruction

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
Cranial implants, especially custom made implants, are complex, important and necessary in craniofacial fracture restoration surgery. However, the classical procedure of the manual design of the implant is time consuming and complicated.

Parametric Regression on the Grassmannian [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We address the problem of fitting parametric curves on the Grassmann manifold for the purpose of intrinsic parametric regression. As customary in the literature, we start from the energy minimization formulation of linear least-squares in Euclidean ...

Parametric Manifolds I: Extrinsic Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
A parametric manifold can be viewed as the manifold of orbits of a (regular) foliation of a manifold by means of a family of curves. If the foliation is hypersurface orthogonal, the parametric manifold is equivalent to the 1-parameter family of ...

Effects of the core radius of an isothermal ellipsoidal gravitational lens on the caustics and the critical curves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We study the effect of the core radius of an isothermal ellipsoidal gravitational lens on the caustics and the critical curves. We derive an analytic expression of the caustics for an isothermal ellipsoidal gravitational lens via a sixth-order algebraic ...
