Abstract
Using vectors between control points (ai=Pi+1-Pi), parameters λ and μ (such that\(a_i + 1 = \lambda a_i + \mu a_i + 2\)) are used to study the shape classification of planar parametric cubicB-spline curves. The regiosn of λμ space corresponding to different geometric features on the curves are investigated. These results are useful for curve design.
