The central theme of this pair of papers (Parts I and II in this issue) is self-similarity, which is used as a bridge for connecting splines and fractals. The first part of the investigation is deterministic, and the context is that of L-splines; these are ...
This chapter presents a survey of interpolation and resampling techniques in the context of exact, separable interpolation of regularly sampled data. In this context, the traditional view of interpolation is to represent an arbitrary continuous function as ...
We introduce an extended class of cardinal LL-splines, where L is a pseudo-differential operator satisfying some admissibility conditions. We show that the LL-spline signal interpolation problem is well posed and that its solution is the unique minimizer ...
Based on the theory of approximation, this paper presents a unified analysis of interpolation and resampling techniques. An important issue is the choice of adequate basis functions. We show that, contrary to the common belief, those that perform best are ...
The most essential ingredient of interpolation is its basis function. We have shown in previous papers that this basis need not be necessarily interpolating to achieve good results. On the contrary, several recent studies have confirmed that non-interpolat ...
We provide an overview of spline and wavelet techniques with an emphasis on applications in pattern recognition. The presentation is divided in three parts. In the first one, we argue that the spline representation is ideally suited for all processing task ...
We present here an explicit time-domain representation of any compactly supported dyadic scaling function as a sum of harmonic splines. The leading term in the decomposition corresponds to the fractional splines, a recent, continuous-order generalization o ...
We consider using spline interpolation to improve the standard filtered back-projection (FBP) tomographic reconstruction algorithm. In particular, we propose to link the design of the filtering operator with the interpolation model that is applied to the s ...
Splines, which were invented by Schoenberg more than fifty years ago, constitute an elegant framework for dealing with interpolation and discretization problems. They are widely used in computer-aided design and computer graphics, but have been neglected i ...
We present an explicit formula for B-spline convolution kernels; these are defined as the convolution of several B-splines of variable widths hi and degrees ni. We apply our results to derive spline-convolution-based algorithms for two closely related prob ...
