This paper presents a method for incorporating anatomical NMR boundary side information into penalized maximumlikelihood (PML) emission image reconstructions. The NMR boundary is parameterized as a periodic spline curve of fixed order and number of knots that is known a priori. Maximum Likelihood (ME) estimation of the spline coefficients yields an “extracted” boundary, which is used to define ...

This paper deals with the application of the spline filter as an areal filter for surface metrology. A profile (2D) filter is often applied in orthogonal directions to yield an areal filter for a three-dimensional (3D) measurement. Unlike the Gaussian filter, the spline filter presents an anisotropic characteristic when used as an areal filter. This disadvantage hampers the wide application of ...

Electronic mail is very important in present time. Many researchers work for designing, improving, securing, fasting, goodness and others fields in electronic mail. This paper introduced new algorithm to use Cantor sets and cubic spline interpolating function in the electronic mail design. Cantor sets used as the area (or domain) of the mail, while spline function used for designing formula. Th...

In this paper, we contribute a new B-spline based interval field decomposition method as non-probabilistic approach that takes into account local effects in modelling. With basis functions, the formulation is highly intuitive and easy to construct. The computational efficiency outperforms traditional method. explicit expression of proposed facilitates use optimisation methods determining bounds...

In this paper, a new method for gray-scale image and color zooming algorithm based on their local information is offered. In the proposed method, the unknown values of the new pixels on the image are computed by Moving Least Square (MLS) approximation based on both the quadratic spline and Gaussian-type weight functions. The numerical results showed that this method is more preferable to biline...

As we know the approximation solution of seventh order two points boundary value problems based on B-spline of degree eight has only ${cal O}(h^{2})$ accuracy and this approximation is non-optimal. In this work, we obtain an optimal spline collocation method for solving the general nonlinear seventh order two points boundary value problems. The ${cal O}(h^{8})$ convergence analysis, mainly base...

this paper describes an approximating solution, based on lagrange interpolation and spline functions, to treat functional integral equations of fredholm type and volterra type. this method can be extended to functional dierential and integro-dierential equations. for showing eciency of the method we give some numerical examples.

This paper proposes a method for approximating unorganized points in lR 3 with smooth B-spline surfaces. The method involves: meshless parameteri-zation; triangulation; shape-preserving reparameterization; and least squares spline approximation.
