Instead of comprising one or more partial bounding polygons, our representation consists of only a single approximate offset curve segment, also in quadratic Bezier form. Evaluated on a corpus of real-world curves, this technique avoids 68-99% of antialias-distance queries and 41-96% of brushparameter queries. A proof of correctness is provided.I.3.5 [Computer Graphics]Computational Geometryand Object Modeling Boundary representationsoffset curvebounding techniqueacceleration10.1145/2018323.2018346143-150
