B-Splines

BSplines are one of the most promising curves in computer graphics. They are blessed with some superior geometric properties which make them an ideal candidate for several applications in computer aided design industry. In this article, some basic properties of B-Spline curves are presented. Two significant B-Spline properties viz convex hull property and repeated points effects are discussed. The BSplines computation in computational devices is also illustrated. An industry application based on image processing where B-Spline curve reconstructs the 3D surfaces for CT image datasets of inner organs further highlights the strength of these curves
