Description
Summary:In real life, the available data points which are either 2D or 3D are normally scattered and contaminated with noise. The noise is defined as the variation in a set of data points. To fit these data points, the approximation methods are considered as a suitable mean compared to the interpolation methods. It is important for the approximation methods to preserve the shape and features of the model in the presence of any noise. B-spline and thin plate spline approximation are being studied in this thesis. The effectiveness of the modified B-spline approximation algorithm is investigated in approximating the bicubic B-spline surface from the samples of scattered data points taken from the point set model.
