Incremental Spherical Linear Interpolation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Animation is often done by setting up a sequence of key orientations, represented by quaternions. The in between orientations are obtained by spherical linear interpolation (SLERP) of the quaternions, which then can be used to rotate the objects. However, SLERP involves the computation of trigonometric functions, which are computationally expensive. Since it is often required that the angle between each quaternion should be the same, we propose that incremental SLERP is used instead. In this paper we demonstrate five different methods for incremental SLERP, whereof one is new, and their pros and cons are discussed.

On Spherical Linear Interpolation for MIMO-OFDM Beamforming Systems
We analyze linear channel estimation for MIMO-OFDM systems and propose a spherical linear interpolator in closed-form for the beamforming codewords. We also suggest a hybrid interpolator using a simplified version of the derived interpolator. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes are efficient and competitive with respect to the feedback overhead and have low complexity. key words: ...

متن کاملAn overlapping additive Schwarz preconditioner for interpolation on the unit sphere by spherical radial basis functions
The problem of interpolation of scattered data on the unit sphere has many applications in geodesy and earth science in which the sphere is taken as a model for the earth. When spherical basis functions are used to construct the interpolant, the underlying linear systems are ill-conditioned. In this paper, we present an additive Schwarz preconditioner to accelerate the solution process. An esti...
متن کاملFreeform Curves on Spheres of Arbitrary Dimension
Recursive evaluation procedures based on spherical linear interpolation and stationary subdivision algorithms based on geodesic midpoint averaging are used to construct the analogues on spheres of arbitrary dimension of Lagrange and Hermite interpolation and Bezier and B-spline approximation.
متن کاملInterpolation on spherical geodesic grids: a comparative study
Most operational models in atmospheric physics, meteorology and climatology nowadays adopt spherical geodesic grids and require “ad hoc” developed interpolation procedures. The author does a comparison between chosen representatives of linear, distance based and cubic interpolation schemes outlining their advantages and drawbacks in this specific application field. Numerical experiments on a st...
