The main objective of this paper is to construct the various shapes and font designing of curves and to describe the curvature by using parametric and geometric continuity constraints of generalized hybrid trigonometric Bézier (GHT-Bézier) curves. The GHT-Bernstein basis functions and Bézier curve with shape parameters are presented. The parametric and geometric continuity constraints for GHT-Bézier curves are constructed. The curvature continuity provides a guarantee of smoothness geometrically between curve segments. Furthermore, we present the curvature junction of complex figures and also compare it with the curvature of the classical Bézier curve and some other applications by using the proposed GHT-Bézier curves. This approach is one of the pivotal parts of construction, which is basically due to the existence of continuity conditions and different shape parameters that permit the curve to change easily and be more flexible without altering its control points. Therefore, by adjusting the values of shape parameters, the curve still preserve its characteristics and geometrical configuration. These modeling examples illustrate that our method can be easily performed, and it can also provide us an alternative strong strategy for the modeling of complex figures.

Trigonometric B-spline curves with shape parameters are equally important and useful for modeling in Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) like classical B-spline curves. This paper introduces the cubic polynomial and rational cubic B-spline curves using new cubic basis functions with shape parameter ξ∈[0,4]. All geometric characteristics of the proposed Trigonometric B-spline curves are similar to the classical B-spline, but the shape-adjustable is additional quality that the classical B-spline curves does not hold. The properties of these bases are similar to classical B-spline basis and have been delineated. Furthermore, uniform and non-uniform rational B-spline basis are also presented. C3 and C5 continuities for trigonometric B-spline basis and C3 continuities for rational basis are derived. In order to legitimize our proposed scheme for both basis, floating and periodic curves are constructed. 2D and 3D models are also constructed using proposed curves.

The construction of new basis functions for the Bézier or B-spline curve has been one of the most popular themes in recent studies in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD). Implementing the new basis functions with shape parameters provides a different viewpoint on how new types of basis functions can develop complex curves and surfaces beyond restricted formulation. The wide selection of shape parameters allows more control over the shape of the curves and surfaces without altering their control points. However, interpolated parametric curves with higher degrees tend to overshoot in the process of curve fitting, making it difficult to control the optimal length of the curved trajectory. Thus, a new parameter needs to be created to overcome this constraint to produce free-form shapes of curves and surfaces while still preserving the basic properties of the Bézier curve. In this work, a general fractional Bézier curve with shape parameters and a fractional parameter is presented. Furthermore, parametric and geometric continuity between two generalized fractional Bézier curves is discussed in this paper, as well as demonstrating the effect of the fractional parameter of curves and surfaces. However, the conventional parametric and geometric continuity can only be applied to connect curves at the endpoints. Hence, a new type of continuity called fractional continuity is proposed to overcome this limitation. Thus, with the curve flexibility and adjustability provided by the generalized fractional Bézier curve, the construction of complex engineering curves and surfaces will be more efficient.

Treating trauma to the cranio-maxillofacial region is a great challenge and requires expert clinical skills and sophisticated radiological imaging. The aim of reconstruction of the facial fractures is to rehabilitate the patient both functionally and aesthetically. Bio-modeling is an important tool for constructing surfaces using 2D cross sections. The aim of this manuscript was to show 3D construction using 2D CT scan contours. The fractured part of the cranial vault were constructed using a Ball curve with two shape parameters, later the 2D contours were flipped into 3D with an equidistant z component. The surface created was represented by a bi-cubic rational Ball surface with C2 continuity. At the end of this article, we present two real cases, in which we had constructed the frontal and parietal bone fractures using a bi-cubic rational Ball surface. The proposed method was validated by constructing the non-fractured part.

The local controlled generalized H-Bézier model is one of the most useful tools for shape designs and geometric representations in computer-aided geometric design (CAGD), which is owed to its good geometric properties, e.g., symmetry and shape adjustable property. In this paper, some geometric continuity conditions for the generalized cubic H-Bézier model are studied for the purpose of constructing shape-controlled complex curves and surfaces in engineering. Firstly, based on the linear independence of generalized H-Bézier basis functions (GHBF), the conditions of first-order and second-order geometric continuity (namely, G1 and G2 continuity) between two adjacent generalized cubic H-Bézier curves are proposed. Furthermore, following analysis of the terminal properties of GHBF, the conditions of G1 geometric continuity between two adjacent generalized H-Bézier surfaces are derived and then simplified by choosing appropriate shape parameters. Finally, two operable procedures of smooth continuity for the generalized H-Bézier model are devised. Modeling examples show that the smooth continuity technology of the generalized H-Bézier model can improve the efficiency of computer design for complex curve and surface models.

The $$\kappa $$ κ -curve is a recently published interpolating spline which consists of quadratic Bézier segments passing through input points at the loci of local curvature extrema. We extend this representation to control the magnitudes of local maximum curvature in a new scheme called extended- or $$\epsilon \kappa $$ ϵ κ -curves. $$\kappa $$ κ -curves have been implemented as the curvature tool in Adobe Illustrator® and Photoshop® and are highly valued by professional designers. However, because of the limited degrees of freedom of quadratic Bézier curves, it provides no control over the curvature distribution. We propose new methods that enable the modification of local curvature at the interpolation points by degree elevation of the Bernstein basis as well as application of generalized trigonometric basis functions. By using $$\epsilon \kappa $$ ϵ κ -curves, designers acquire much more ability to produce a variety of expressions, as illustrated by our examples.
