Abstract: |
Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves offer computational advantages in Computer Aided Geometric Design, Computer Aided Design, Computer Graphics, Computer Numerical Control machining and similar applications. In this paper, three methods are utilized to construct the identifications of planar regular sextic PH curves. The first exhibits purely the control polygon legs' constraints in the complex form. Such reconstruction of a PH sextic can be elaborated by $C^1$ Hermite data and another one condition. The second uses polar representation in two cases. One of them can produce a family of convex sextic PH curves related with a quintic PH curve, and the other one may naturally degenerate a sextic PH curve to a quintic PH curve. In the third identification, we use some odd PH curves to construct a family of sextic PH curves with convexity-preserving property. |
