Blended smoothing splines on Riemannian manifolds (1812.04420v1)
Published 11 Dec 2018 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: We present a method to compute a fitting curve B to a set of data points d0,...,dm lying on a manifold M. That curve is obtained by blending together Euclidean B\'ezier curves obtained on different tangent spaces. The method guarantees several properties among which B is C1 and is the natural cubic smoothing spline when M is the Euclidean space. We show examples on the sphere S2 as a proof of concept.
