Figure 3:

(a) Frenet-Serret frame rotates as a function of arc length, s. The frame at pt-1, t-1(0), gradually changes into the frame at pt-1, ℱt-1s), during propagation. At pt, based on t-1s), the Frenet-Serret frame of a candidate curve, t (0), is randomly generated using 3 consecutive rotations. (b-c) t-1s) is first rotated around Tt-1s) with a random angle picked from a zero mean Gaussian distribution with user defined variance σT2, creating N˜ and B˜ vectors. (d-e) Second and third rotations are done around N˜ and Bt(0) with random angles picked from zero mean Gaussian distributions with user defined variances σN2 and σB2 respectively. Notice that the Frenet-Serret frame is always orthonormal during the propagation and after each rotation.
