Locally Supported Kernels for Spherical Spline Interpolation
نویسنده
چکیده
By the use of locally supported basis functions for spherical spline interpolation the applicability of this approximation method is spread out since the resulting interpolation matrix is sparse and thus eecient solvers can be used. In this paper we study locally supported kernels in detail. Investigations on the Legendre coeecients allow a characterization of the underlying Hilbert space structure. We show how spherical spline interpolation with polynomial precision can be managed with locally supported kernels, thus giving the possibility to combine approximation techniques based on spherical harmonic expansions with those based on locally supported kernels.

Locally supported splines in tension are constructed where the tension, which has ever been constant over the entire domain, is allowed to change at sampling points.
متن کاملOrientation Interpolation in Quatemion Space Using Spherical Biarcs
We consider the problem of interpolating a smooth curve to a point sequence in the unit quaternion space U. This problem has application to object orientation interpolation in computer animation , sweep surface generation in solid modeling[7, 6]. Since the unit quaternions form the unit sphere 8 3 in p;4, a simple curve scheme using spherical biarcs is presented to solve this problem. The spher...
متن کاملOptimal Quadrati Spline Collo ation Methods for the Shallow Water Equations on the Sphere
In this study, we present numerical methods, based on the optimal quadratic spline collocation (OQSC) methods, for solving the shallow water equations (SWEs) in spherical coordinates. A quadratic spline collocation method approximates the solution of a differential problem by a quadratic spline. In the standard formulation, the quadratic spline is computed by making the residual of the differen...
متن کاملLocally supported rational spline wavelets on a sphere
In this paper we construct certain continuous piecewise rational wavelets on arbitrary spherical triangulations, giving explicit expressions of these wavelets. Our wavelets have small support, a fact which is very important in working with large amounts of data, since the algorithms for decomposition, compression and reconstruction deal with sparse matrices. We also give a quasi-interpolant ass...
متن کاملA Neural Implementation of Interpolation with a Family of Kernels
A paradigm for interpolating images based on a family of kernels is presented. Each kernel is "tuned" to specific image characteristics and contains the information responsible for the local creation of missing detail. This interpolation process (1) exploits the correlation that exists in the local structure of images via a self-organizing feature map (SOFM) and (2) establishes an optimal set o...
