Bernstein Bézoutians and application to intersection problems (Q426192): Difference between revisions

The authors study the Bézier curve-surface and Bézier surface-surface intersection problems avoiding the well-known unstable conversion between the Bernstein basis and the power basis. These varieties are given by parametrizations in Bernstein bases and all intermediate computations are performed in that form. For this purpose, an adapted resultant for generic Bernstein polynomial systems with a special shape which appear in the intersection problems, is constructed. The construction is based on the expression of the Bézoutian matrix in Bernstein form.
