The aim of this paper is to present a new class of B-spline-like functions with tension properties. The main feature of these basis functions consists in possessing C3 or even C4 continuity and, at the same time, being endowed by shape parameters that can be easily handled.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a new class of B-spline-like functions with tension properties. The main feature of these basis functions consists in possessing C3 or even C4 continuity and, at the same time, being endowed by shape parameters that can be easily handled. Therefore they constitute a useful tool for the construction of curves satisfying some prescribed shape constraints. The construction is based on a geometric approach which uses parametric curves with piecewise quintic components.
