We propose a novel closed curve-blending technique that describes continuous and gradual transitions between a pair of closed polygons in a plane. The main contribution of this study is to formulate the closed curve-blending problem in terms of curvature flow. The curvature flow is designed to be a gradient flow derived by an appropriate energy function with respect to an L inner product on curvature. By designing an appropriate energy function, we can construct linear curvature flow that travels from the source polygon to the target polygon under linear constraints. This method achieves natural blending and contributes to a significant reduction in computation time in comparison with related methods.
