Hi
I am trying to represent airfoil by using 2 bezier curves of order 12. what i understand is i have to find control points of bezier curve by using the co-ordinates of the airfoil and doing least squares approximation. My question is in typical least squares approx. we minimize vertical offset [i.e. we minimize {summation(y - y(t))}^2 ]. So if i do this i will find the y co-ordinates of my control points. Now, how do i find the x co-ordinates of my control points??? Can anyone please help me.

as far as I know, in case of bezier curves both X and Y are functions of t parameter. So, you should find t such that errors of X and Y goes down.

hi hamidzoka
 ... thnx for your reply...Yeah in bezier curves both x & y are functions of t parameter. As you said errors of x and y should go down, do i need to minimize both x & y together as minimize {summation (x-x(t))^2+(y-y(t))^2 } ??? |

You may refer to the 29th section "Circles and quadratic Bézier curves" @ http://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/

Hello
I'm working on airfoil shape optimization for wind turbine.I am trying to represent airfoil by using 2 bezier curves. How can I get a Bezier curve closet to the given points (given an ordered set of m airfoil data points and find a set of control points.) can anyone please help me on this Thank you so much |

doing a google search for "bezier curve fitting" results in many related articles and web pages to what you want to do judging from the titles.
