Conditions for coincidence of two cubic Bézier curves

摘要

This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for judging whether two cubic Bézier curves are coincident: two cubic Bézier curves whose control points are not collinear are coincident if and only if their corresponding control points are coincident or one curve is the reversal of the other curve. However, this is not true for degree higher than 3. This paper provides a set of counterexamples of degree 4.
