The Optimal Biarc Sub-problem<br />

Let P i be an arbitrary data point lying between the two end points P 1 and P 2 (see Figure 2.17). Let D i be<br />

the deviation between P i and the biarc passing through P 1 and P 2. This distance can be easily calculated.<br />

The sector in which point P i lies needs to be first identified. If P i is in the P 1O 1Q sector, the distance D i<br />

can be obtained by<br />
