Fitting Smooth Paths to Speherical Data

Abstract: Given a set of data points on the sphere at known times, one often wishes to fit a smooth path to the data. In this paper we propose a unified approach to deal with such problems. Our method can be described as "unwrapping" the data onto the plane, where standard curve fitting techniques can then be applied. As an important example of our approach, we define and fit "spherical spline functions" .

“…In which concerns the interpolation algorithm, the present work generalises ideas and results contained in [10,12] and [11], where only certain manifolds embedded in Euclidean spaces have been considered. The novelty of our results is the approach to solve interpolation problems on the ellipsoid through rolling motions in a non-Euclidean space.…”

“…We develop the necessary details in the appendix and explicitly determine in a short calculation parallel transport on Kendall's space of planar shapes (which are essentially complex projective spaces) in Appendix A.2. We note that [33] computed parallel transport differently, based on which, [31] extended spline-fitting for spherical curves by [24] to shape curves. In another method [12] extended polynomial regression for intrinsic curve fitting.…”
