  • Abstract
    There are several techniques used for plotting a Bézier curve, i.e., using direct Bernstein basis computation, employing the de Casteljau algorithm, and polar form approach. However, all of them suffer from the computational complexity and there are several attempts to enhance the efficiency for the construction of Bézier curves. Iterative method of de Casteljau algorithm and conversion into more efficient models are examples. One way to improve the speed of the curve computation is the scan conversion method that has been widely used for line, ellipse. In this paper, the degree elevation technique is used to proficiently scan-convert Bézier curves with O(N Log N) complexity.
