Shape-preserving interpolation in ℝ3 (EN)

Karavelas, MI (EN)

In this paper we develop and test a simple automatic algorithm for constructing curvature- and torsion-continuous interpolants in R-3, which are shape-preserving in a sense that takes into account the convexity, torsion, coplanarity and collinearity information contained in the polygonal line connecting the interpolation points. This algorithm exploits the asymptotic properties of a family of C-2-continuous polynomial splines of non-uniform degree, which tend to the above-mentioned polygonal line, as the segment degrees tend to infinity. The performance of the algorithm is tested for a three-dimensional data set, containing coplanar and collinear groups of points as well. (EN)
