Variational Subdivision for Natural Cubic Splines
This paper explores the intrinsic link between natural cubic splines and subdivision. Natural cubic splines are deened via the varia-tional problem of minimizing a simple approximation of bending energy. A subdivision scheme is derived which converges to the minimizer of this particular variational problem. x1. Introduction Geometric design is the study of the representation of shapes with math...
متن کاملGeodesic Interpolating Splines
We propose a simple and eecient method to interpolate landmark matching by a non-ambiguous mapping (a diieomorphism). This method is based on spline interpolation, and on recent techniques developed for the estimation of ows of diieomorphisms. Experimental results show interpolations of remarkable quality. Moreover, the method provides a Riemannian distance on sets of landmarks (with xed car-di...
متن کاملConstrained Interpolation via Cubic Hermite Splines
Introduction In industrial designing and manufacturing, it is often required to generate a smooth function approximating a given set of data which preserves certain shape properties of the data such as positivity, monotonicity, or convexity, that is, a smooth shape preserving approximation. It is assumed here that the data is sufficiently accurate to warrant interpolation, rather than least ...
متن کاملBundle Block Adjustment with 3D Natural Cubic Splines
Point-based methods undertaken by experienced human operators are very effective for traditional photogrammetric activities, but they are not appropriate in the autonomous environment of digital photogrammetry. To develop more reliable and accurate techniques, higher level objects with linear features accommodating elements other than points are alternatively adopted for aerial triangulation. E...
متن کاملApproximating geodesic tree distance
Billera, Holmes, and Vogtmann introduced an intriguing new phylogenetic tree metric for weighted trees with useful properties related to statistical analysis. However, the best known algorithm for calculating this distance is exponential in the number of leaves of the trees compared. We point out that lower and upper bounds for this distance, which can be calculated in linear time, can differ b...
