Abstract: The aim of this presentation is to introduce many families of Bezier interpolation curves depending of many parameters influencing the shape of the curves. These families of curves are important in Computer Aided Geometric Design, in design of cars body when only the interpolation points are known and the possible shapes are investigated, or when we want to avoid any particular cases (curve with cusps or loops). We present many original interpolation schemes and their integration in one MATLAB tool with a friendly user interface. In order to make a proper choice of the parameters we provide a characterization diagram for any scheme.
