Approximation of circular arcs and offset curves by Bezier curves of high degree
Abstract
In this paper, we present an exact error analysis for circle approximation by Bezier curve. The approximation method is a special case of Floater's conic approximation method (Comput. Aided Geom. Design 8 (1991)135). Using this, we propose an approximation method of the offset curve of given plane Bezier curve by Bezier curve of the same degree.
