Recognition of complex polynomial Bezier curves under similarity transformations

Abstract

In this paper, similarity groups in the complex plane C, polynomial curves and complex Bezier curves in C are introduced. Global similarity invariants of polynomial curves and complex Bezier curves in C are given in terms of complex functions. The problem of similarity of two polynomial curves in C are solved. Moreover, in case two polynomial curve (complex Bezier curve) are similar for the similarity group, a general form of all similarity transformations, carrying one curve into the other curve, are obtained.
