Bézier Curve
A parametric curve defined by a control polygon, offering intuitive geometric control and numerical stability. It is widely used in computer graphics and industrial design.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Pierre Bézier's work at Renault laid the practical foundation for the de Casteljau algorithm and Bézier curves.
Bézier curves lack local modification capability—moving one control point affects the entire curve.
B-splines solved the problem of Bézier curves lacking local modification capability through the local support of basis functions, making piecewise editing of complex curves possible.
