B-Spline Example

The document provides an illustration of B-spline curve calculations, detailing the parametric equations and blending functions. It explains the recursive process for calculating blending functions of different orders using Cox-de Boor's formula, with examples of both periodic and nonperiodic knot values. The document concludes with a homework assignment to plot resulting curves based on the calculated blending functions.

An Illustration example of calculations of B-spline

Curve
Parameteric equation:

Blending function:

and

To illustrate how the parametric function is interpreted:


Let n = 3 and k = 2
Number of control points: = n+1 = 4; i.e. P0, P1, P2, P3.
This gives the equation:

(*)
Polynomial degree: = k-1 = 2 – 1 = 1
Range of u: 0  u < ((n + 1) – (k – 1))

Range of i for knot variables: 0  i < (n + k)

Knot values for each i (contains n+k+1 = 6 variables) can be


expressed either as period or nonperiodic.
If periodic: ti = i – k within the range (0  i  n+k)
t0 = 0 – 2 = -2; t1 = 1 – 2 = -1; …; t5 = 5 – 2 = 3

If nonperiodic:

 t0 = 0 (0 < 2); t1 = 0 (1 < 2)


 t2 = 1 (2 ≤ 2 ≤ 3); t3 = 2 (2 ≤ 3 ≤ 3)
 t4 = 3 (4 > 3); t5 = 3 (5 > 3)

Let’s use the nonperiodic variables for the following


calculations

Determining the blending functions recursively using Cox-de


Boor recursive formula)
i.e. find each Ni,k for i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4;
k = 1, 2

When k = 1: N0,1; N1,1; N2,1; N3,1; N4,1


When k = 2: N0,2; N1,2; N2,2; N3,2; N4,2
Calculations of the blending function of order 1, Ni,1
(i.e. when k = 1 and i = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4)

Calculations of the blending function of order 2, Ni,2,


(i.e. when k = 2 (recursively uses calculations of k = 1)
Note: In these calculations, any division by 0 is to be taken as 0.
Inserting in equation (*) given above

 P(u) = P0(1-u)N1,1(u) + P1 (uN1,1(u) + (2-u)N2,1(u))


+ P2((u-1)N2,1(u) + (3-u)N3,1(u)) + P3(u-2)N3,1(u) (**)

Homework: Try to insert the values of N1,1, N2,1 and N3,1 in


(**) and plot the resulting curves.

Recursive process:
To compute N0,2: We need to compute N0,1 and N1,1.
To compute N1,2: We need to compute N1,1 and N2,1.
