摘要
This paper presents a simple and robust method for computing the bisector of two planar rational curves. We represent the correspondence between the foot points on two planar rational curves C-1(t) and C-2(r) as an implicit curve F(t,r) = 0, when F(t,r) is a bivariate polynomial B-spline function. Given two rational curves of degree m in the xy-plane, the curve F(t,r) = 0 has degree 4m - 2, which is considerably lower than that of the corresponding bisector curve in the xy-plane.
