Enforce C2 continuity and generate 3D Bézier curves

Given 2 sets of control points (possibly representing a 3D path), this code calculates the position of the additional control points used to enforce C2 continuity and plots the 3D Bézier curves defined by them.

The repository includes:

  • Main.m: definition of the points, calling the functions and plot of the curve

  • points_continuity_derivative_3D.m: calculates the position of the additional control points enforcing C2 continuity

  • bezier_curve_3D.m: given a set of control points, it calculates the 3D Bézier curves defined by it

This code was partially used in the paper:
