摘要
In this paper the problem of constructing spatial G2 continuous Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) spline curves, that interpolate points and frame data, and in addition have the prescribed arc -length, is addressed. The interpolation scheme is completely local and can be directly applied for motion design applications. Each spline segment is defined as a PH biarc curve of degree 7 satisfying super-smoothness conditions at the biarc's joint point. The biarc is expressed in a closed form with additional free parameters, where one of them is determined by the length constraint. The selection of the remaining free parameters is suggested, that allows the existence of the solution of the length interpolation equation for any prescribed length and any ratio between norms of boundary tangents. By the proposed automatic procedure for computing the frame and velocity quaternions from the first and second order derivative vectors, the paper presents a direct generalization of the construction done for planar curves to spatial ones. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the proposed method and to show its good performance, also when a spline construction in considered.
