| Abstract: | In parametric curve interpolation there is given a sequence of data points and corresponding parameter values (nodes), and we want to find a parametric curve that passes through data points at the associated parameter values. We consider those interpolating curves that are described by the combination of control points and blending functions. We study paths of control points and points of the interpolating curve obtained by the alteration of one node. We show geometric properties of quadratic Bézier interpolating curves with uniform and centripetal parameterizations. Finally, we propose geometric methods for the interactive modification and specification of nodes for interpolating Bézier curves. |
