Two Simulated Annealing Optimization Schemas for Rational Bézier Curve Fitting in the Presence of Noise

Figure 7

Evolution of the maximum, mean, and minimum value of BIC (in blue, green, and red color, resp.) versus the number of function evaluations for the curve on a torus example: top: noiseless case; bottom: noisy case (with ). The inner boxed pictures also show a zoom of the initial exploration stages in both cases for better visualization.
