Interpolating B-Spline Curves with Boundary Conditions

The control points of the nonuniform cubic B-spline curve are determined from the interpolation points and the boundary conditions. The first and last two control points are so-called phantom points, which are determined by the first-order boundary conditions. The computational method can be applied to three-dimensional curves, too.
