Multiwavelets and multiframelets are of interest in several applications such as numerical algorithms and signal processing, due to their desirable properties such as high smoothness and vanishing moments with relatively small supports of their generating functions and masks. In order to process and represent vector-valued discrete data efficiently and sparsely by a multiwavelet transform, a mu...

This paper presents an alternative approach for removing striping patterns of Hyperion hyperspectral imagery. In this study, a cubic spline-based curve-fitting algorithm was used to estimate gray values of striping pixels in an image. The idea is to treat each line of a Hyperion image as a piece-wise spline curve in each spectral band. After identifying pixels affected by the striping noises, t...

We show that the geometric Hermite interpolant can be easily calculated without solving a system of nonlinear equations. In addition we give geometric conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the interpolation problem. Finally we compare geometric Hermite interpolation with standard cubic Hermite interpolation. x1 Introduction Since parametric representations of curves are n...

Subdivision schemes are efficient tools for building curves and surfaces. For vector subdivision schemes, it is not so straightforward to prove more than the Hölder regularity of the limit function. On the other hand, Hermite subdivision schemes produce function vectors that consist of derivatives of a certain function, so that the notion of convergence automatically includes regularity of the ...

In this paper, planar parametric Hermite cubic interpolants with small curvature variation are studied. By minimization of an appropriate approximate functional, it is shown that a unique solution of the interpolation problem exists, and has a nice geometric interpretation. The best solution of such a problem is a quadratic geometric interpolant. The optimal approximation order 4 of the solutio...

In the present paper, the existence and uniqueness of deficient discrete cubic spline interpolant by matching the given function and first order difference at the intermediate points between successive mesh points for a uniform mesh has been discussed and also a error estimate concerning this deficient discrete cubic spline interpolant is obtained

Every curve or surface can be defined by a set of parametric functions. For instance, (x,y,z) coordinates of the points of the curve can be given by:) (), (), (t Z z t Y y t X x = = = t being the parameter and X, Y, Z being polynomial functions in t. If X, Y and Z are 1 st degree polynomials, a line segment will be defined. In that case, two knowns only (i.e. two points or a point and a slope) ...

The aim of this paper is to provide a quantitative comparison of eight different 0 1 and 0 2 cubic spline interpolation schemes. The 0 1 schemes discussed are local while the 0 2 ones are global. In practice cubic splines are often used when the smoothness of the function being interpolated/approximated is unknown. Also it is often necessary, or advantageous, to use a nonuniform mesh. Therefore...

A new technique and an algorithm have been designed which are meant to automatically capture the outlines of fonts. A more flexible class of B! ezier cubic (generalized Hermite cubic) functions are the basis of this technique. This class of functions involves two families of control parameters, to produce more flexible shapes than ordinary Hermite or B! ezier cubics, in each segment. These func...
