Abstract Log-aesthetic curves (LACs), possessing monotone curvature and including many classical curves, have been widely used to describe fair shapes in geometric modeling. However, they are generally represented in non-polynomial form and are thus not compatible with current CAD systems. In this paper we present quintic polynomial approximation of LAC segments. For a given LAC segment, a quintic G 2 interpolating Bézier curve is obtained by minimizing a curvature-based error metric, with the advantage of being more likely to preserve the monotone curvature property. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our method can usually generate better results than the previous methods in terms of the deviation in positions and curvatures.
