In this paper odd-order B-spline filters are proposed to reconstruct volumetric data sampled on an optimal Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) grid. To make these filters nearly interpolating, we adapt a previously published framework, which is based on a discrete frequency-domain prefiltering. It is shown that a BCC-sampled B-spline kernel is not invertible, therefore the interpolation constraint cannot...

Crown simulation based on basis spline (b-spline) interpolation is a compatible method to simulate tree polymorphism at present. However, there are two problems when it simulates the crown: first problem that derivative value top point needs be given manually, and second type of collected equidistantly. To solve above realize convenient accurate simulation, this study took Chinese fir as object...

Knot insertion is the operation of obtaining a new representation of a B-spline curve by introducing additional knot values to the defining knot vector. The new curve has control points consisting of the original control points and additional new control points corresponding to the number of new knot values. So knot insertions give additional control points which provide extra shape control wit...

The spline collocation method  is employed to solve a system of linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integro-differential equations. The solutions are collocated by cubic B-spline and the integrand is approximated by the Newton-Cotes formula. We obtain the unique solution for linear and nonlinear system $(nN+3n)times(nN+3n)$ of integro-differential equations. This approximation reduces th...

A rational B-spline curve or surface is a collection of points associated with a mass (weight) distribution. These mass distributions can be used to exert local control over the morph between two rational B-spline curves or surfaces. Here we propose a technique for designing customized morphs by attaching appropriate mass distributions to target B-spline curves and surfaces. We also develop a u...

The collocation method based on cubic B-spline, is developed to approximate the solution of second kind nonlinear Fredholm integral equations. First of all, we collocate the solution by B-spline collocation method then the Newton-Cotes formula use to approximate the integrand. Convergence analysis has been investigated and proved that the quadrature rule is third order convergent. The presented...

Introduction 3D reconstruction of an object from its 2D cross-sections (slices) has many applications in different fields of sciences such as medical physics and biomedical engineering. In order to perform 3D reconstruction, at first, desired boundaries at each slice are detected and then using a correspondence between points of successive slices surface of desired object is reconstructed. Mate...

This paper describes a fast algorithm for scattered data interpolation and approximation. Multilevel B-splines are introduced to compute a C 2 -continuous surface through a set of irregularly spaced points. The algorithm makes use of a coarse-tofine hierarchy of control lattices to generate a sequence of bicubic B-spline functions whose sum approaches the desired interpolation function. Large p...
