Knot Removing and Smoothing Method of Generalized B-Spline Curves

Generalized B-splines are not only compatible with classical B-splines but also provide plentiful shapes for geometric modeling systems because of their flexible core functions. The paper focuses on knots removal and smooth method of generalized B-splines. Firstly, the dual bases of generalized B-splines are constructed, and the complexity can be reduced a lot. Secondly, jump value is introduced, if jump values of some knots are too big, the corresponding knots are removed. At last, by the aid of best approximation property of the generalized B-splines’ dual bases, control points of new approximating generalized B-splines are obtained. Thus, knots removal and smooth of curves are realized. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
