Application of Holditch theorem to Bézier and quadratic uniform B-spline curves (Q701432)

Summary: Parametric polynomial functions are one of the most common types of functions that are used in curve and surface design. Bézier and quadratic uniform B-spline curves are some common examples of those functions. Crossection areas between these curves have great importance in computer aided geometric design and computer aided geometric manufacturing. While calculating these areas, the kind of the curves and surfaces of which the objects are composed, is very important. After determining the types of the curves, we choose one of the most suitable methods to calculate the area. In this paper, we use the Holditch Theorem to calculate the areas between two Bézier curves and two quadratic uniform B-spline curves.
