Hybrid Radial Basis Functions for Image Representation

My ORCA research topic was 3D shape representation. I proposed research to develop a new method for representing surfaces that combined two current methods. The oldest method (thinplate spline model) was developed by Turk and O’Brien in 1998. The second method (compactly supported RBF) was develop...

Description
Summary:My ORCA research topic was 3D shape representation. I proposed research to develop a new method for representing surfaces that combined two current methods. The oldest method (thinplate spline model) was developed by Turk and O’Brien in 1998. The second method (compactly supported RBF) was developed by my mentor, Bryan Morse in May 2001. These methods have complimenting strengths and weaknesses. Therefore I planned to hybridize these two methods to preserve the strengths in both, and thus overcome their respective weakness.
