New method creates smooth curves for advanced engineering applications.
The article discusses a new method for controlling the shape of curves in engineering applications by focusing on their curvature. By using discrete curves, which have a lot of flexibility, researchers were able to generate smooth curves with controlled curvature. They created curves that pass through specific points and have desired properties like tangent and curvature. This method allows for the creation of curves that change smoothly throughout their length, making them useful for practical design purposes.
