    Abstract:

    In this paper,we obtain the tanget vector at each point of the regular rational Bé zier curve of degree n by using the improved rational de Casteljau algorithm. Then we can get the unit normal vector at each point of the original curve. So we have ingeniously overcome the difficulty that the unit normal vector is not easily to be solved at each point. This method has obvious geometric meaning. The algorithm is simple and the result is satisfactory in practice.
