Transformation Formulas for Spherical and Spheroidal Multipole Fields
A transformation linking spherical multipole fields with generalized spheroidal multipole fields is derived. Applications including the inverse diffraction problem for spherically-scanned near field data for sources that due to conformal considerations are efficiently described using spheroidal (either oblate or prolate) volume support regions are discussed with the aid of numerical illustratio...
متن کاملSpherical harmonic projectors
The harmonic projection (HP), which is implicit in the numerous harmonic transforms between physical and spectral spaces, is responsible for the reliability of the spectral method for modeling geophysical phenomena. As currently configured, the HP consists of a forward transform from physical to spectral space (harmonic analysis) immediately followed by a harmonic synthesis back to physical spa...
متن کاملEfficient Spherical Harmonic Evaluation
The real spherical harmonics have been used extensively in computer graphics, but the conventional representation is in terms of spherical coordinates and involves expensive trigonometric functions. While the polynomial form is often listed for low orders, directly evaluating the basis functions independently is inefficient. This paper will describe in detail how recurrence relations can be use...
متن کاملSpherical Harmonic Transform Algorithms
A collection of MATLAB classes for computing and using spherical harmonic transforms is presented. Methods of these classes compute differential operators on the sphere and are used to solve simple partial differential equations in a spherical geometry. The spectral synthesis and analysis algorithms using fast Fourier transforms and Legendre transforms with the associated Legendre functions are...
متن کاملSpherical harmonic Gradients for Mid-Range Illumination
Spherical harmonics are often used for compact description of incident radiance in low-frequency but distant lighting environments. For interaction with nearby emitters, computing the incident radiance at the center of an object only is not sufficient. Previous techniques then require expensive sampling of the incident radiance field at many points distributed over the object. Our technique all...
