Bézier Curve
A parametric curve introduced by Pierre Bézier in 1962, based on Bernstein polynomials and defined by a set of control points that determine the curve's shape. Bézier curves are widely used in animation, font rendering, trajectory simulation, and other fields requiring smooth curve representation.
Core Facts
The Bézier curve was proposed by French engineer Pierre Bézier in 1962 while working at Renault, originally for automotive body surface design
The cubic-bezier() function in CSS animations, the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator, and TrueType outlines in font rendering are all typical applications of Bézier curves
The formula for a cubic Bézier curve is B(t) = (1-t)³P₀ + 3(1-t)²tP₁ + 3(1-t)t²P₂ + t³P₃, where t∈[0,1] is the parameter and P₀ through P₃ are four control points
Timeline (last 90 days)
Vectorization is converting bitmap stroke outlines into vector paths described by Bezier curves, so that glyphs can scale losslessly.
Bézier curve interpolation can simulate natural ease-in and ease-out effects, whereas linear interpolation produces mechanically uniform motion.
In equidistant curve sampling, when rounded corners are introduced, the Bézier curve parameter t and arc length are not linearly related, and engineering implementations typically use numerical integration or lookup tables (LUT) to approximate arc length.

A cubic Bézier curve is defined by four control points, with the curve equation B(t) = (1-t)³P0 + 3(1-t)²tP1 + 3(1-t)t²P2 + t³P3.
