The discussion clarifies the fundamental differences between B-Spline curves and Bezier curves. A B-Spline is defined as a more general interpolation curve that passes through its control points, while a Bezier curve is a cubic polynomial approximation that only passes through its endpoints. Under specific conditions, a B-Spline can degenerate into a Bezier curve. This distinction is crucial for understanding their applications in computer graphics and modeling.
