Construction and characterization of non-uniform local interpolating polynomial splines

This paper presents a general framework for the construction of piecewise-polynomial local interpolants with given smoothness and approximation order, defined on non-uniform knot partitions. We design such splines through a suitable combination of polynomial interpolants with either polynomial or rational, compactly supported blending functions. In particular, when the blending functions are ra...

Geodesic 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...

Dynamic Non-Uniform Rational B=Splines

Non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) have become a de facto standard in commercial modeling systems because of their power to represent both free-form shapes and some common analytic shapes. To date, however, NURBS have been viewed as purely geometric primitives, which require the designer to interactively adjust many degrees of freedom (DOFs )-control points and associated weights-to achieve...

Non-uniform interpolatory subdivision via splines

We present a framework for deriving non-uniform interpolatory subdivision algorithms closely related to non-uniform spline interpolants. Families of symmetric non-uniform interpolatory 2n-point schemes of smoothness C are presented for n = 2, 3, 4 and even higher order, as well as a variety of non-uniform 6-point schemes with C continuity.
