Euler Bezier spirals and Euler B-spline spirals

Euler spirals have linear varying curvature with respect to arc length and can be applied in fields such as aesthetics pleasing shape design, curve completion or highway design, etc. However, evaluation and interpolation of Euler spirals to prescribed boundary data is not convenient since Euler spirals are represented by Fresnel integrals but with no closed-form expression of the integrals. We investigate a class of Bezier or B-spline curves called Euler Bezier spirals or Euler B-spline spirals which have specially defined control polygons and approximate linearly varying curvature. This type of spirals can be designed conveniently and evaluated exactly. Simple but efficient algorithms are also given to interpolate G (1) boundary data by Euler Bezier spirals or cubic Euler B-spline spirals.
