Sampling and Reconstruction of Surfaces and Higher Dimensional Manifolds

We present new sampling theorems for surfaces and higher dimensional manifolds. The core of the proofs resides in triangulation results for manifolds with boundary, not necessarily bounded. The method is based upon geometric considerations that are further augmented for 2-dimensional manifolds (i.e surfaces). In addition, we show how to apply the main results to obtain a new, geometric proof of the classical Shannon sampling theorem, and also to image analysis.
