— This paper offers a path planning algorithm based on splines. The sought path avoids the obstacles, and is smooth and short. Smoothing is used as an integral part of the algori...

We present a method to compute the medial axis of a smooth curve or surface by using PHT-spline (polynomial splines over hierarchical T-meshes) hierarchical approximation. In part...
In this paper we present a local fitting algorithm for converting smooth planar curves to Bsplines. For a smooth planar curve a set of points together with their tangent vectors a...
Given an m-dimensional surface in Rn , we characterize parametric curves in , which interpolate or approximate a sequence of given points pi and minimize a given energy functio...
Abstract— We consider the task of planning smooth trajectories for robot motion. In this paper we make two contributions. First we present a method for cubic spline optimization;...
