Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a novel physically-based method for curve deformation. It is an energy-based method considering stretching energy, bending energy and twisting energy of the curve. By combining the space deformation and energy-based technique, the curve deformation is converted into an optimization with linear constraints. Experimental results illustrate that the presented model is a shape-preserving method, which can produce realistic curve deformation.
