Jacobi-Bernstein Basis Transformation

Abstract

In this paper we derive the matrix of transformation of the Jacobi polynomial basis form into the Bernstein polynomial basis of the same degree n and vice versa. This enables us to combine the superior least-squares performance of the Jacobi polynomials with the geometrical insight of the Bernstein form. Application to the inversion of the Bézier curves is given. © 2004, Institute of Mathematics, NAS of Belarus. All rights reserved.
