Locating Sampling Points for Cubic Splines

  • Conference paper
New Trends in Computer Graphics

Abstract

Locating sampling points for cubic splines is investigated in this paper. The direct application of the proposal is for designing motion of objects for computer animation. The method consists of two parts: (i) obtaining the relative position of the sampling points, and (ii) mapping the sampling points on the cubic spline interpolant based on the relative position sequence obtained in (i).

The obtained results may be used for design of motion for phenomena described parametrically.
