Abstract:
Convex hull property is an important characteristic of designing control points of Bezier curves, which can be used for obstacle avoidance in path generating. η3-splines belong to a kind of 7th degree G3 polynomial curves that interpolate the boundary conditions of position, tangent, curvature and curvature derivative. In this research, the derivation of equivalence bijective transformation from simplified η3-splines to 7th degree Bezier curves is presented to take advantage of these two kinds of curves. Therefore, the manipulation of simplified η3-splines becomes more intuitive, and the design of Bezier curves to satisfy boundary conditions on the curvature and curvature derivative is computationally simpler. In addition, the transformation allows a clear geometric interpretation of the η parameter in terms of the control points. We propose the usage of this transformation as a basis for a path design procedure with an illustration of vehicle entering into roundabout.
