Offset Approximation of Hybrid Hyperbolic Polynomial Curves

Abstract

In this paper, two methods for approximation of offset curves of H-Bezier curves and H-B spline curves are presented, which are based on the approximation of shifting control points and norm of parametric speed. Firstly, after calculating the perturbed vectors, the offset curve can be obtained by shifting the control points of the base curve. Then, both the Chebyshev approximation and optimal trigonometric polynomials approximation of parametric speed of base curve are presented, and two approximation functions of offset curves are also obtained. Finally, some examples are used to demonstrate their practicality.
