Determination of Stationary Points and Their Bindings in Dataset using RBF Methods

Stationary points of multivariable function which represents some surface have an important role in many application such as computer vision, chemical physics, etc. Nevertheless, the dataset describing the surface for which a sampling function is not known is often given. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an approach for finding the stationary points without knowledge of the sampling function. In this paper, an algorithm for determining a set of stationary points of given sampled surface and detecting the bindings between these stationary points (such as stationary points lie on line segment, circle, etc.) is presented. Our approach is based on the piecewise RBF interpolation of the given dataset.

Radial Basis Function Approximations: Comparison and Applications

Approximation of scattered data is often a task in many engineering problems. The Radial Basis Function (RBF) approximation is appropriate for large scattered (unordered) datasets in d-dimensional space. This approach is useful for a higher dimension d>2, because the other methods require the conversion of a scattered dataset to an ordered dataset (i.e. a semi-regular mesh is obtained by using some tessellation techniques), which is computationally expensive. The RBF approximation is non-separable, as it is based on the distance between two points. This method leads to a solution of Linear System of Equations (LSE) Ac=h. In this paper several RBF approximation methods are briefly introduced and a comparison of those is made with respect to the stability and accuracy of computation. The proposed RBF approximation offers lower memory requirements and better quality of approximation.

Big Geo Data Surface Approximation using Radial Basis Functions: A Comparative Study

Approximation of scattered data is often a task in many engineering problems. The Radial Basis Function (RBF) approximation is appropriate for big scattered datasets in $n-$dimensional space. It is a non-separable approximation, as it is based on the distance between two points. This method leads to the solution of an overdetermined linear system of equations. In this paper the RBF approximation methods are briefly described, a new approach to the RBF approximation of big datasets is presented, and a comparison for different Compactly Supported RBFs (CS-RBFs) is made with respect to the accuracy of the computation. The proposed approach uses symmetry of a matrix, partitioning the matrix into blocks and data structures for storage of the sparse matrix. The experiments are performed for synthetic and real datasets.

A New Radial Basis Function Approximation with Reproduction

Approximation of scattered geometric data is often a task in many engineering problems. The Radial Basis Function (RBF) approximation is appropriate for large scattered (unordered) datasets in d-dimensional space. This method is useful for a higher dimension d>=2, because the other methods require a conversion of a scattered dataset to a semi-regular mesh using some tessellation techniques, which is computationally expensive. The RBF approximation is non-separable, as it is based on a distance of two points. It leads to a solution of overdetermined Linear System of Equations (LSE). In this paper a new RBF approximation method is derived and presented. The presented approach is applicable for d dimensional cases in general.

Fast Algorithm for Finding Maximum Distance with Space Subdivision in E2

Finding an exact maximum distance of two points in the given set is a fundamental computational problem which is solved in many applications. This paper presents a fast, simple to implement and robust algorithm for finding this maximum distance of two points in E2. This algorithm is based on a polar subdivision followed by division of remaining points into uniform grid. The main idea of the algorithm is to eliminate as many input points as possible before finding the maximum distance. The proposed algorithm gives the significant speed up compared to the standard algorithm.

Space Subdivision to Speed-up Convex Hull Construction in E3

Convex hulls are fundamental geometric tools used in a number of algorithms. This paper presents a fast, simple to implement and robust Smart Convex Hull (S-CH) algorithm for computing the convex hull of a set of points in E3. This algorithm is based on "spherical" space subdivision. The main idea of the S-CH algorithm is to eliminate as many input points as possible before the convex hull construction. The experimental results show that only a very small number of points are used for the final convex hull calculation. Experiments made also proved that the proposed S-CH algorithm achieves a better time complexity in comparison with other algorithms in E3.
