In this article, a fourth order quintic spline method has been developed to obtain numerical solutions for second order boundary value problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The developments of the quintic spline method and convergence analysis were presented. Three test problems have been considered for comparison purposes. The numerical results showed that the quintic spline method is m...

This paper presents a new fast and local method of 3D surface reconstruction for scattered data. The algorithm makes use of quasiinterpolants to compute the control points from a coarse to fine hierarchy to generate a sequence of bicubic B-spline functions whose sum approaches to the desired interpolation function. Quasi-interpolants gives a procedure for deriving local spline approximation met...

Uniform cubic B-spline functions have been used for mapping functions in various areas such as image warping and morphing, 3D deformation, and volume morphing. The injectivity (one-to-one property) of a mapping function is crucial to obtain desirable results in these areas. This paper considers the injectivity conditions of 2D and 3D uniform cubic B-spline functions. We propose a geometric inte...

In this article, we study the numerical solution of the one dimensional nonlinear sineGordon by using the modified cubic B-spline differential quadrature method (MCB-DQM). The scheme is a combination of a modified cubic B-spline basis function and the differential quadrature method. The modified cubic B-spline is used as a basis function in the differential quadrature method to compute the weig...

In this paper, we present an approach that automatically constructs a trivariate tensor-product B-spline solid via a gradient-based optimization approach. Given six boundary B-spline surfaces for a solid, this approach finds the internal control points so that the resulting trivariate B-spline solid is valid in the sense the minimal Jacobian of the solid is positive. It further minimizes a volu...

B-spline functions are widely used in many industrial applications such as computer graphic representations, computer aided design, computer aided manufacturing, computer numerical control, etc. Recently, there exist some demands, e.g. in reverse engineering (RE) area, to employ B-spline curves for non-trivial cases that include curves with discontinuous points, cusps or turning points from the...

Harris corner detection algorithm called Harris corner detector is a very effective corner algorithm for gray-scale images. The corners extracted by Harris corner detector are stable, reliable, homogeneous and reasonable. However, it has own inevitable limitations. For the shape recognition of parts, an improved Harris corner detector is proposed in this paper. Based on the analysis of Harris c...

Every m th order cardinal spline wavelet is a linear combination of the functions fN (l) m+l (2x?j); j 2 Zg. Here the function N m is the m th order cardinal B-spline. In this paper we prove that the single function N (l) m+l (2x), or N (l) m+l (2x ? 1) is a wavelet when m and l satisfy some mild conditions. As l decreases, so does the support of the wavelet. When l increases, the smoothness of...
