In this paper, we propose a novel method for efficiently calculating the eigenvectors of uniformly rotated images of a set of templates. As we show, the images can be optimally approximated by a linear series of eigenvectors which can be calculated without actually decomposing the sample covariance matrix.
Abstract. In this paper, the geometric interpolation of planar data points and boundary tangent directions by a cubic G 2 Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) spline curve is studied. It is shown that such an interpolant exists under some natural assumptions on the data. The construction of the spline is based upon the solution of a tridiagonal system of nonlinear equations. The asymptotic approximation order 4 is confirmed.
Abstract. In this paper the problem of geometric interpolation of planar data by parametric polynomial curves is revisited. The conjecture that a parametric polynomial curve of degree ≤ n can interpolate 2n given points in R 2 is confirmed for n ≤ 5 under certain natural restrictions. This conclusion also implies the optimal asymptotic approximation order. More generally, the optimal order 2n can be achieved as soon as the interpolating curve exists.
In this paper, the geometric Lagrange interpolation of four points by planar cubic Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves is studied. It is shown that such an interpolatory curve exists provided that the data polygon, formed by the interpolation points, is convex, and satisfies an additional restriction on its angles. The approximation order is 4. This gives rise to a conjecture that a PH curve of degree n can, under some natural restrictions on data points, interpolate up to n + 1 points.
In this paper, compositions of a natural number are studied. The number of restricted compositions is given in a closed form, and some applications are presented.
In this paper, geometric interpolation of certain circle-like curves by parametric polynomial curves is studied. It is shown that such an interpolating curve of degree n achieves the optimal approximation order 2 n, the fact already known for particular small values of n. Furthermore, numerical experiments suggest that the error decreases exponentially with growing n.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
