Bezier Curve Online Class

Bezier curves are parametric curves used in computer graphics and design. They use Bernstein polynomials as basis functions to blend between control points. The degree of the curve determines the number of control points and order of the blending function. Cubic Bezier curves use 4 control points and a cubic blending function. An example constructs a quadratic Bezier curve from 3 control points and calculates the x and y coordinates along the curve at increasing values of the parameter u.

BEZIER CURVE

Bezier curve use a construction curve, in


which the interpolating polynomials depends
on certain control points. It is a parametric
curve that use Bernstein polynomial as a
blending function or basis function.
Degree =n then Order = n+1
Q(u)=∑PiBi,n (u) (i=0 to n) (0<=u<=1)
Where Pi is the control points.
Bi,n(u)= nci ui (1-u) n-i
n
ci = n!/(i!*(n-i)!)
