Abstract

We propose a nonlinear interpolatory curve subdivision based on averaging normal vectors, which can reproduce circular arcs when straight edges exist in the original control polygon and generate conics when initial control points are sampled uniformly. Corresponding proofs and examples are also given for verifying the correctness of this scheme.
