Introduction: Scattered photon is one of the main defects that degrade the quality and quantitative accuracy of nuclear medicine images. Accurate estimation of scatter in projection data of SPECT is computationally extremely demanding for activity distribution in uniform and non-uniform dense media. Methods: The objective of this paper is to develop and validate a scatter correction technique ...

The analysis of spatial data occurs in many disciplines and covers a wide variety activities. Available techniques for such analysis include spatial interpolation which is useful for tasks such as visualization and imputation. This paper proposes a novel approach to interpolation using space-filling curves. Two simple interpolation methods are described and their ability to interpolate is compa...

Numerous problems in electronic imaging systems involve the need to interpolate from irregularly spaced data. One example is the calibration of color input/output devices with respect to a common intermediate objective color space, such as XYZ or L*a*b*. In the present report we survey some of the most important methods of scattered data interpolation in two-dimensional and in three-dimensional...

infancy, there should be much more researches and discussions in various elds, including surface representation. We believe and it is strongly required that the NURBS be supported in 3-D visual communication and compression. Then, the contribution in this paper might come true in the real world.

Methods approaching the problem of the Hermite Birkhoff interpolation of scattered data by combining Shepard operators with local interpolating polynomials are not new in literature [1–4]. In [3] combinations of Shepard operators with bivariate Hermite-Birkhoff local interpolating polynomials are introduced to increase the algebraic degree of precision (polynomial reproduction degree) of Shepar...
