Reconstruction of Egg Shape Using B-spline

In this paper, the reconstruction of egg’s outline by using piecewise parametric cubic B-spline is proposed. Reverse engineering process has been used to represent the generic shape of egg in order to acquire its geometric information in form of a two-dimensional set of points. For the curve reconstruction, the purpose is to optimize the control points of all curves such that the distance of the data points to the curve is minimized. Then, the B-spline curve functions were used for the curve fitting between the actual and the reconstructed profiles.
