Abstract

It is frequently important to approximate a rational B$\acute{e}$zier curve by an integral, i.e., polynomial one. This need will arise when a rational B$\acute{e}$zier curve is produced in one CAD system and is to be imported into another system, which can only handle polynomial curves. The objective of this paper is to present an algorithm to approximate rational B$\acute{e}$zier curves with polynomial curves of higher degree.
