Fitting Parametric Curves to Dense and Noisy Points
Abstract
Given a large set of irregularly spaced points in the plane, an algorithm for partitioning the points into subsets and fitting a parametric curve to each subset is described. The points could be measurements from a physical phenomenon, and the objective in this process could be to find patterns among the points and describe the phenomenon analytically. The points could be measurements from a geometric model, and the objective could be to reconstruct the model by a combination of parametric curves. The algorithm proposed here can be used in various applications, especially where given points are dense and noisy.
