BeziercurvelPierre Bezier<EullGlossarysDefinition:ABézier curve is a curved line orpath defined bymathematical equations.Itwas named after Pierre Bezier, a French mathematician and engineer who developed thismethod of computer drawing inthe late 1g6os while working forthe car manufacturerRenault.Mostgraphics softwareincludes a pentoolfordrawingpaths withBeziercurves.(Continuedbelow...)The most basic Bezier curve is made up of two end points and control handles attached toeachnode.Thecontrol handles definethe shape.ofthe curveon eithersideofthecommonnode.Drawing Bezier curves may seem baffling at first; it's something that requires somestudy and practice to grasp the geometry involved, But once mastered, Bezier curves are awonderful waytodraw!Pierre Bezier was bornSeptember 1, 1910 and died November 25,19g9 at the age of 89.In1985hewasrecognizedbyACMSIGGRAPHwithaStevenA.Coons'awardforhislifetimecontributiontocomputergraphics andinteractivetechniques.A Bezier curve with three nodes.The center node is selected and the control handles arevisible
• Pierre Etienne Bezier was born on September 1, 1910 in Paris. Son and grandson of engineers • He entered the Ecole Superieure d'Electricite and earnt a second degree in electrical engineering in 1931. In 1977, 46 years later, he received his DSc degree in mathematics from the University of Paris. • In 1933, aged 23, Bezier entered Renault and worked for this company for 42 years. • Bezier's academic career began in 1968 when he became Professor of Production Engineering at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers. He held this position until 1979

How to represent a curve?: There are three major types of objectrepresentation:- Explicit representation: the explicit form of acurve in 2D gives the value of one variable.the dependent variable, in terms of the other.the independent variable. In x, y space, wemay writey= f(x)y=mx+h- For the line, we usually write
How to represent a curve? • There are three major types of object representation: – Explicit representation: the explicit form of a curve in 2D gives the value of one variable, the dependent variable, in terms of the other, the independent variable. In x, y space, we may write – For the line, we usually write y f x ( ) y mx h
- Implicit representation: In two dimensions, animplicit curve can be represented by the equationf(x,y)= 0- For the lineax +by +c = 0-Forthecircle2—2=0x+
– Implicit representation: In two dimensions, an implicit curve can be represented by the equation – For the line – For the circle 2 2 2 x y r 0 f x y ( , ) 0 ax by c 0
- Parametric form: The parametric form of a curveexpresses the value of each spatial variable forpoints on the curve in terms of an independentvariable t , the parameter.- In 3D, we have three explicit functionsx = x(t)y = y(t)z = z(t)

- One of the advantages of the parametric form isthat it is the same in two and three dimensions. Inthe former case, we simply drop the equation forZ.（容易推广到高维）- A useful representation of the parametric form isto visualize the locus of pointsS0200(点的轨迹)AP(O)-P(t+A)P(t) =[x(t), y(t), z(t)}being drawn as t varies
