New Cubic Trigonometric Bezier-Like Functions With Shape Parameter: Curvature And Its Spiral Segment

This work presents the new cubic trigonometric Bezier-type functions with shape parameter. Basis functions and the curve satisfy all properties of classical Bezier curve-like partition of unity, symmetric property, linear independent, geometric invariance, and convex hull property and have been proved. The C-3 and G(3) continuity conditions between two curve segments have also been achieved. To check the applicability of proposed functions, different types of open and closed curves have been constructed. The effect of shape parameter and control points has been observed. It is observed that, by decreasing the value of shape parameter, the curve moves toward the control polygon and vice versa. The CT-Bezier curve is closer to the cubic Bezier curve for a fixed value of shape parameter. The proposed CT-Bezier curve can be used to represent ellipse. Using proposed basis functions, we have constructed the spiral segment which is very useful to construct fair curves and desirable to design trajectories of mobile robots, highway, and railway routes' designing.
