Abstract

In this paper we propose an efficient offset curve generation algorithm for open and closed 2D point sequence curve(PS curve) with line segments in the plane. One of the most difficult problems of offset generation is the loop intersection problem caused by the interference of offset curve segments. We propose an algorithm which removes global as well as local intersection loop without making an intermediate offset curve by forward tracing of tangential circle. Experiment in computer sewing machine shows that proposed method is very useful and simple.
