The degree of a rational map measures how often the map covers the image variety. In particular, when the rational map is a parametrization, the degree measures how often the para...
: A DP curve is a new kind of parametric curve defined by Delgado and Peña (2003); it has very good properties when used in both geometry and algebra, i.e., it is shape preserving...
In image processing, the curve comparisons can be achieved by extracting the curve information from the bitmapped images. The revealed curves are represented in the forms of the s...
There are various algorithms known for deciding the parametrizability (rationality) of a plane algebraic curve, and if the curve is rational, actually computing a parametrization....
Symbolic computation of NURBS plays an important role in many areas of NURBS-based geometric computation and design. However, any nontrivial symbolic computation, especially when ...
