Area of Science:

Numerical Analysis
Computer-Aided Design
Scientific Computing

Background:

Data interpolation is crucial for reconstructing surfaces and signals from scattered measurements.
Existing methods may struggle to preserve essential data properties like positivity, especially with sparse or irregular datasets.
Developing robust interpolation schemes is vital for applications in engineering and scientific visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a local positivity-preserving interpolation scheme for data points scattered at sparse locations.
To ensure the generated surface maintains the positive characteristics of the original data.
To offer a flexible interpolation method with user-defined parameters.

Main Methods:

The proposed algorithm utilizes Delaunay triangulation to partition irregular data.
C¹ rational trigonometric cubic functions are employed for interpolating triangle boundaries and radial curves.
A constraint is applied to half of the interpolant's parameters to maintain data positivity, with the other half available for user customization.
The orthogonality property of trigonometric functions is leveraged for smoother surface generation compared to polynomial-based methods.

Main Results:

A novel local positivity-preserving interpolation scheme is successfully developed.
The scheme effectively interpolates sparse and irregular data while preserving data positivity.
Trigonometric interpolation results in a smoother surface compared to traditional polynomial methods.
The flexibility in parameter selection allows for user-specific adjustments.

Conclusions:

The developed scheme provides a robust solution for interpolating sparse data with positivity constraints.
Its ability to generate smooth surfaces makes it suitable for various applications.
Potential applications include surface reconstruction, deformation, signal processing, CAD/CAM, differential equations, and image restoration.
