Introduction 

Mathematical splines are motivated by the “loftsman’s spline”:    

CGVR

Long, narrow strip of wood or plastic Used to fit curves through specified data points Shaped by lead weights called “ducks” Gives curves that are “smooth” or “fair”

Such splines have been used for designing:   

Parametric Curves 

In general, a “parametric” curve in the plane is expressed as:

x = X (t)

y = Y (t )

Example: A circle with radius r centered at the origin is given by:

x = r cos t 

CGVR

y = r sin t

By contrast, an “implicit” representation of the circle is: 2 2 2

x +y =r

A parametric “polynomial” curve is a parametric curve where each function x(t), y(t) is described by a polynomial: n

x = ∑ ai t

Piecewise Parametric Polynomial Curves 

A “piecewise” parametric polynomial curve uses different polynomial functions for different parts of the curve  

Bezier Curves 

CGVR

Developed simultaneously by Bezier (at Renault) and by deCasteljau (at Citroen), circa 1960 The Bezier Curve Q(u) is defined by nested interpolation:

Q( u ) = ∑ Vi Bi , n ( u ) , n

i =0

0 ≤ u ≤1

Bi ,i = u i , B0,i = (1 − u ) Bi , n = (1 − u ) Bi , n −1 ( u ) + uBi −1, n −1 ( u ) ,  Vis are “control points” 

i

1≤ i < n

{V0, …, Vn} is the “control polygon”

Cubic Curves 

For the rest of this discussion, we’ll restrict ourselves to piecewise cubic curves 

In CAGD, higher-order curves are often used  

Gives more freedom in design Can provide higher degree of continuity between pieces

For Graphics, piecewise cubic lets you do about anything 

CGVR

Lowest degree for specifying points to interpolate and tangents Lowest degree for specifying curve in space

All the ideas here generalize to higher-order curves

Splines 

CGVR

To build up more complex curves, we can piece together different Bezier curves to make “splines” For example, we can get: 

Positional (C0) Continuity:

Derivative (C1) Continuity:

Qn ( 0) = Qn −1 (1) , Qn (1) = Qn +1 ( 0 ) Qn ( 0) = Qn −1 (1) , Qn (1) = Qn +1 ( 0 ) Qn′ ( 0) = Qn′ −1 (1) , Qn′ (1) = Qn′ +1 ( 0 )

Q: How would you build an interactive system to satisfy these conditions?

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


Advantages of Splines 

CGVR

Advantages of splines over higher-order Bezier curves:   

Numerically more stable Easier to compute Fewer bumps and wiggles

Tangent (G1) Continuity 

CGVR

Q: Suppose the tangents were in opposite directions but not of same magnitude – how does the curves appear?

Qn ( 0) = Qn −1 (1) , Qn (1) = Qn +1 ( 0 ) Qn′ ( 0) = k1Qn′ −1 (1) , Qn′ (1) = k 2 Qn′ +1 ( 0 )  

This construction gives “tangent (G1) continuity” Q: How is G1 continuity different from C1?

Curvature (C2) Continuity 

CGVR

Q: Suppose you want even higher degrees of continuity – e.g., not just slopes but curvatures – what additional geometric constraints are imposed? Qn ( 0 ) = Qn −1 (1) , Qn (1) = Qn +1 ( 0 ) Qn′ ( 0 ) = Qn′ −1 (1) , Qn′ (1) = Qn′ +1 ( 0 )

Qn′′ ( 0 ) = Qn′′−1 (1) , Qn′′ (1) = Qn′′+1 ( 0 ) We’ll begin by developing some more mathematics.....

Operator Calculus  

CGVR

Let’s use a tool known as “operator calculus” Define the operator D by: DVi ≡ Vi +1 Rewriting our explicit formulation in this notation n  n gives: n −i i

Q( u ) = ∑  u (1 − u ) Vi i =0 i  n  n n  n n −i i n −i i = ∑  u (1 − u ) DiV0 = ∑  ( uD ) (1 − u ) Vi i =0 i  i =0 i 

Applying the binomial theorem gives:

Q( u ) = ( uD + (1 − u ) ) V0 n

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


Taking the Derivative 

One advantage of this form is that now we can take the derivative:

Q ′( u ) = n( uD + (1 − u ) )  

CGVR

n −1

( D − 1)V0

What’s (D-1)V0? Plugging in and expanding:

 n − 1 i n −1− i u (1 − u ) Q ′( u ) = n ∑  Di (V1 − V0 ) i =0 i  n −1

This gives us a general expression for the derivative Q’(u)

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


Specializing to n=3 

What’s the derivative Q’(u) for a cubic Bezier curve?

Q ′( u ) = 3( uD + (1 − u ) )

Note that:  

(

Q′( 0) = 3( D − 1)V0 D − 1 V0  ′ 2 ( ) ( D − 1)V0 Q 1 = 3 D 

When u=0: Q’(u) = 3(V1-V0) When u=1: Q’(u) = 3(V3-V2)

Geometric interpretation: Q’(0)

Taking the Second Derivative 

CGVR

Taking the derivative once again yields: n−2 2 ′ ′ Q ( u ) = n( n − 1) ( uD + (1 − u ) ) ( D − 1) V0

What does (D-1)2 do?

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


Second-Order Continuity 

CGVR

So the conditions for second-order continuity (V3 − V2 ) = (W1 − W0 ) are:

(V3 − V2 ) − (V2 − V1 ) = (W2 − W1 ) − (W1 − W0 )

Putting these together gives: W0 = V3 W1 = (V3 − V2 ) + W0 = 2V3 − V2

W2 = 2(V3 − V2 ) − (V2 − V1 ) + W1 = V1 − 4V2 + 4V3 

Summary of continuity conditions  

Creating Continuous Splines 

CGVR

We’ll look at three ways to specify splines with C1 and C2 continuity   

C2 interpolating splines B-splines Catmull-Rom splines

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


C2 Interpolating Splines 

  

CGVR

The control points specified by the user, called “joints”, joint are interpolated by the spline For each of x and y, we needed to specify 3 conditions for each cubic Bezier segment. So if there are m segments, we’ll need 3m-1 conditions Q: How many these constraints are determined by each joint?

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


In-Depth Analysis 

CGVR

At each interior joint j, we have:  Last curve ends at j  Next curve begins at j  Tangents of two curves at j are equal  Curvature of two curves at j are equal The m segments give:  m-1 interior joints  3 conditions The 2 end joints give 2 further constraints:  First curve begins at first joint  Last curve ends at last joint Gives 3m-1 constraints altogether

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


End Conditions 

CGVR

The analysis shows that specifying m+1 joints for m segments leaves 2 extra degree of freedom These 2 extra constraints can be specified in a variety of ways: 

An interactive system 

“Natural” cubic splines 

Constraints specified as user inputs Second derivatives at endpoints defined to be 0

Maximal continuity 

Require C3 continuity between first and last pairs of curves

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


C2 Interpolating Splines  

CGVR

Problem: Describe an interactive system for specifying C2 interpolating splines Solution: 1. Let user specify first four Bezier control points 2. This constraints next 2 control points – draw these in. 3. User then picks 1 more 4. Repeat steps 2-3.

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


Global vs. Local Control 

These C2 interpolating splines yield only “global control” – moving any one joint (or control point) changes the entire curve! Global control is problematic:  

CGVR

Makes splines difficult to design Makes incremental display inefficient

There’s a fix, but nothing comes for free. Two choices: 

B-splines  

Keep C2 continuity Give up interpolation

Catmull-Rom Splines  

Keep interpolation Give up C2 continuity – provides C1 only

cgvr.korea.ac.kr

Graphics Lab @ Korea University


B-Splines 

Previous construction (C2 interpolating splines): 

Choose joints, constrained by the “A-frames”

New construction (B-splines):  

CGVR

Choose points on A-frames Let these determine the rest of Bezier control points and joints

The B-splines I’ll describe are known more precisely as “uniform B-splines”

Derivation of Catmull-Rom Splines 

CGVR

Idea: (same as B-splines)  

Start with joints to interpolate Build a cubic Bezier curve between successive points

B0

B3 B1 =V0

B2 =V3

The endpoints of the cubic Bezier are obvious: V0 = B1 V3 = B2

Q: What should we do for the other two points?

Derivation of Catmull-Rom (cont.) 

A: Catmull & Rom use half the magnitude of the vector between adjacent control points: B0

B3 B1 =V0

CGVR

B2 =V3

Many other choices work – for example, using an arbitrary constant t times this vector gives a “tension” control
