This idea is called "spline interpolation", where you use piecewise polynomials to interpolation. Normally this is done with basis functions which results in B-splines. But it is also possible to use Bernstein polynomials which results in Bezier splines.

Linear spline interpolation gets you nothing more than normal linear interpolation, you need to go into quadratic and cubic spline interpolation to see the differences.
