Subdivision of point-normal with application to smoothing feasible robot path
share
In a previous paper [11] we introduced a weighted binary average of two 2D point-normal pairs, termed circle average, and investigated subdivision schemes based on it. These schemes refine point-normal pairs in 2D, and converge to limit curves and limit normals. Such a scheme has the disadvantage that the limit normals are not the normals of the limit curve. In this paper we solve this problem by proposing a new averaging method, and obtaining a new family of algorithms based on it. We demonstrate their new editing capabilities and apply this subdivision technique to smooth a precomputed feasible polygonal point robot path.
