Abstract

We present a method for the interpolation of a given sequence of data points with C^n continuous trigonometric spline curves of order n+1 (n=1) that are produced by blending elliptical arcs. Ready to use explicit formulae for the control points of the interpolating arcs are also provided. Each interpolating arc depends on a global parameter @a@?(0,@p) that can be used for global shape modification. Associating non-negative weights with data points, rational trigonometric interpolating spline curves can be obtained, where weights can be used for local shape modification. The proposed interpolation scheme is a generalization of the Overhauser spline, and it includes a C^n Bezier spline interpolation method as the limiting case @a-0.
