In this thesis, we consider isoparametric curves of quadratic F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves. F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves unify C-B$\acute{e}$zier curves whose basis is {sint, cos t, t, 1} and H-B$\acute{e}$zier curves whose basis is {sinht, cosh t, t,1}. Thus F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves are more useful in Geometric Modeling or CAGD(Computer Aided Geometric Design). We derive the relation between the quadratic F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves and the quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curves. We also obtain the geometric properties of isoparametric curve of the quadratic F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves at both end points and prove the continuity of the isoparametric curve.

Quadratic B$\acute{e}$zier curves are important geometric entities in many applications. However, it was often ignored by the literature the fact that a single segment of a quadratic B$\acute{e}$zier curve may fail to fit arbitrary endpoint unit tangent vectors. The purpose of this paper is to provide a solution to this problem, i.e., constructing $G^1$ quadratic B$\acute{e}$zier curves satisfying given endpoint (positions and arbitrary unit tangent vectors) conditions. Examples are given to illustrate the new solution and to perform comparison between the $G^1$ quadratic B$\acute{e}$zier cures and other curve schemes such as the composite geometric Hermite curves and the biarcs.

In this paper, we propose a method to convert 2D image to 3D anaglyph using quadratic & cubic B$\acute{e}$zier Curves in HTML5. In order to convert 2D image to 3D anaglyph image, we filter the original image to extract the RGB color values and create two images for the left and right eyes. Users are to set up the depth values of the image through the control point using the quadratic and cubic B$\acute{e}$zier curves. We have processed the depth values of 2D image based on this control point to create the 3D image conversion reflecting the value of the control point which the users select. All of this work has been designed and implemented in Web environment in HTML5. So we have made it for anyone who wants to create their 3D images and it is very easy and convenient to use.

In this paper, we present arc-length estimations for quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curves using the length of polygon and distance between both end points. Our arc-length estimations coincide with the arc-length of the quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curve exactly when the weight ${\omega}$ is 0, 1 and ${\infty}$. We show that for all ${\omega}$ > 0 our estimations are strictly increasing with respect to ${\omega}$. Moreover, we find the parameter ${\mu}^*$ which makes our estimation coincide with the arc-length of the quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curve when it is a circular arc too. We also show that ${\mu}^*$ has a special limit, which is used for optimal estimation. We present some numerical examples, and the numerical results illustrates that the estimation with the limit value of ${\mu}^*$ is an optimal estimation.

In this paper we characterize the isogonal and isotomic conjugates of conic. Every conic can be expressed by a quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curve having control polygon $b_0b_1b_2$ with weight w > 0. We show that the isotomic conjugate of parabola and hyperbola with respect to ${\Delta}b_0b_1b_2$ is ellipse, and that the isotomic conjugate of ellipse with the weight $w={\frac{1}{2}}$ is identical. We also find all cases of the isogonal conjugate of conic with respect to ${\Delta}b_0b_1b_2$. Our characterizations are derived easily due to the expression of conic by the quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$ezier curve in standard form.

In this paper, we construct an logarithmic spiral-like curve using curvature-continuous quadratic spline and quadratic rational spline. The quadratic (rational) spline has self-similarity. We present some properties of the quadratic spline. Also using this $G^2$ quadratic spline, an approximation of logarithmic spiral is proposed and error analysis is obtained.

In this paper we find an explicit form of upper bound of Hausdorff distance between given cubic spline curve and its quadratic spline approximation. As an application the approximation of offset curve of cubic spline curve is presented using our explicit error analysis. The offset curve of quadratic spline curve is exact rational spline curve of degree six, which is also an approximation of the offset curve of cubic spline curve.

The purpose of this paper is to assign a movable frame to an arbitrary point of a rational Bézier curve on the 2-sphere S2 in Euclidean 3-space R3 to provide a better understanding of the geometry of the curve. Especially, we obtain the formula of geodesic curvature for a quadratic rational Bézier curve that allows a curve to be characterized on the surface. Moreover, we give some important results and relations for the Darboux frame and geodesic curvature of a such curve. Then, in specific case, given characterizations for the quadratic rational Bézier curve are illustrated on a unit 2-sphere.

Although there are many applications of Euclidean Voronoi diagram for spheres in a 3D space in various disciplines from sciences and engineering, it has not been studied as much as it deserves. In this paper, we present an edge-tracing algorithm to compute the Euclidean Voronoi diagram of 3-dimensional spheres in O(mn) in the worst-case, where m is the number of edges of Voronoi diagram and n is the number of spheres. After building blocks for the algorithm, we show an example of Voronoi diagram for atoms using actual protein data and discuss its applications for protein analysis.
