Merging of Bézier curves with box constraints

作者：

Highlights：

• We present a novel approach to the problem of merging of Bézier curves.

• We impose constraints of a new type.

• We give illustrative examples to explain the purpose of the new restrictions.

• The merged curve is suitable for further modification and applications.
