Abstract
In this paper, we present a method to obtain the distance between two fixed points of a Bézier surface by minimizing the length of curves on the surface linking the two points. We use a discretization of the classical orthogonal variations method for a regular planar curve. We provide interesting examples of Bézier surfaces which approximate the cylinder, the sphere and the hyperbolic paraboloid.
