| Abstract: | A new method to the problem of fairing planar cubic B-spline curves is introduced in this paper.The method is based on weighted progressive iterative approximation(WPIA for short)and consists of following steps:finding the bad point which needs to fair,deleting the bad point,re-inserting a new data point to keep the structure of the curve and applying WPIA method with the new set of the data points to obtain the faired curve.The new set of the data points is formed by the rest of the original data points and the new inserted point.The method can be used for shape design and data processing.Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. |
