Background: Nonlinear regression, like linear regression, assumes that the scatter of data around the ideal curve follows a Gaussian or normal distribution. This assumption leads ...
This paper addresses the point-wise estimation of differential properties of a smooth manifold S--a curve in the plane or a surface in 3D--assuming a point cloud sampled over S is...
In this paper we address the problem of reconstructing a structurally simple surface representation from point datasets of scanned scenes as they occur for instance in city scanni...
This paper presents a novel hybrid approach that combines state of the art fitting algorithms: algebraic-based and geometric-based. It consists of two steps; first, the 3L algorit...
The approximation of surfaces to scattered data is an important problem encountered in a variety of scientific applications, such as reverse engineering, computer vision, computer...
