| Zusammenfassung: | A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for generating regularized tangents of curves. The method comprises the steps of bounding a length of the arc, computing a chord vector, where the chord vector corresponds to the bounded length of the arc, generating a tangent vector, where the tangent vector is substantially normal to the chord vector, and regularizing the tangent vector, where the regularized tangent vector approximates a true tangent vector to the arc. |
