How to calculate curvature of a 3 dimensional Bezier Curve?

477 Views Asked by At

The formula for curvature of a 2D bezier curve is as follows:

$κ(t)=\frac{|B′(t),B′′(t)|}{||B′(t)||^{3}}$

The dividend is the determinant of two joined vectors (2x2 where each vector is a column), but for 3D, the matrix would not be square, and therefore would have no determinant. Is there a different equation for curvature of a 3D curve? Does one even exist?
