ARC-LENGTH REPARAMETERIZATION

摘要

A computer-implemented method and apparatus for reparameterizing a parametric function representing an animation feature in an animation system where the parametric function is represented by a curve having unequal arc-length per unit parameter. The system samples at intervals of the parameter along the length of the curve and then calculates the arc-length over each interval. Thereafter, one or more differentiable curves are fitted to the parameter, arc-length pairs.
