Sliding motion is a challenge for deformable image registration because it leads to discontinuities in the sought deformation. In this paper, we present a method to handle sliding motion using multiple B-spline transforms. The proposed method decomposes the sought deformation into sliding regions to allow discontinuities at their interfaces, but prevents unrealistic solutions by forcing those i...

In this paper, nonlinear integral equations have been solved numerically by using B-spline wavelet method and Variational Iteration Method (VIM). Compactly supported semi-orthogonal linear B-spline scaling and wavelet functions together with their dual functions are applied to approximate the solutions of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of second kind. Comparisons are made between the var...

quartic non-polynomial spline function approximation in off step points is developed, for the solution of fourth-order boundary value problems. using consistency relation of such spline and suitable choice of parameter,we have obtained second, fourth and sixth orders methods. convergence analysis of sixth order method has been given. the methods are illustrated by some examples, to verify the or...

B-spline functions play important roles in both mathematics and engineering. To describe a numerical method for solving the boundary value problem of linear ODE with second-order by using B-spline. First, the cubic B-spline basis functions are introduced, then we use the linear combination of cubic B-spline basis to approximate the solution. Finally, we obtain the numerical solution by solving ...

Non-linear Fisher’s equations are solved by using a spline method based on B-spline in the space direction and finite difference schema in the time direction. Numerical results reveal that spline method based on Bspline is implemented and effective.

Hierarchical B-spline networks consist of multiple B-spline networks assembled in different level or cascade architecture. To identify the hierarchical B-spline networks and select important input features for each sub-B-spline network automatically, a predefined instruction/operator set was used. The structures of hierarchical B-spline networks were created and evolved by using Probabilistic I...

We present an efficient geometric algorithm for conic spline curve fitting and fairing through conic arc scaling. Given a set of planar points, we first construct a tangent continuous conic spline by interpolating the points with a quadratic Bézier spline curve or fitting the data with a smooth arc spline. The arc spline can be represented as a piecewise quadratic rational Bézier spline curve. ...

By a d-dimensional B-spline object (denoted as ), we mean a B-spline curve (d = 1), a B-spline surface (d = 2) or a B-spline volume (d = 3). By regularization of a B-spline object we mean the process of relocating the control points of such that they approximate an isometric map of its definition domain in certain directions and is shape preserving. In this paper we develop an efficient regul...
