Generalization of the incenter subdivision scheme

We introduce a new interpolatory subdivision scheme generalizing the incenter subdivision [8]. The proposed scheme is equipped with a shape controlling tension parameter, is Hermitian, and reproduces circles from non-uniform samples. We prove that for any value of the free parameter the limit curve is G^1 continuous. The scheme is shape preserving and avoids undesirable oscillations by producing curves with a finite number of inflection points at the regions where the control polygon suggests a change of convexity. Several examples are presented demonstrating the properties of the scheme.
