This paper presents a new fast and local method of 3D surface reconstruction for scattered data. The algorithm makes use of quasiinterpolants to compute the control points from a coarse to fine hierarchy to generate a sequence of bicubic B-spline functions whose sum approaches to the desired interpolation function. Quasi-interpolants gives a procedure for deriving local spline approximation met...

Interpolation of 2n+k data by spline spaces of order k with n knots is studied. Some conditions on existence of interpolating splines are given. Numerical methods for constructing a solution are suggested. Mathematics Subject Classification: 41A05, 41A15

A parametric class of modified B-spline functions is studied for its applicability in digital image interpolation tasks. The modified functions are generated by weighting and shifting of classical B-splines of different degrees. The weighting coefficients are optimized to assures an effective attenuation of the imaging frequencies, caused by the interpolation. The most computationally expensive...

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...

By making use of the advantages of non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves to represent spatial curves, an instruction format with double NURBS curves suitable for 5-axis coordinated real-time interpolation is presented to replace the current 5-axis coordinated linear interpolation method defective in low-speed, low-accuracy and enormous numerical control (NC) files in sculptured surface m...

Image magnification algorithms directly affect the quality of image magnification. In this paper, based on the image interpolation algorithm principle, features of the nearest neighbor interpolation, bilinear interpolation, bicubic interpolation and cubic B spline interpolation were analyzed. At the same time, their advantages and disadvantages were compared. In the experiment, image magnificat...

A smooth surface interpolation scheme for positive and convex data has been developed. This scheme has been extended from the rational quadratic spline function of Sarfraz [11] to a rational bi-quadratic spline function. Simple data dependent constraints are derived on the free parameters in the description of rational bi-quadratic spline function to preserve the shape of 3D positive and convex...
