    Area of Science:

    • Computational Geometry
    • Applied Mathematics
    • Digital Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Current curve digitization techniques often require a large number of points, leading to inefficiencies.
    • Representing complex curves mathematically is crucial for various scientific and engineering applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel method for curve characterization and mathematical definition using a minimal set of points.
    • To demonstrate the effectiveness of selected nodal points in precisely reproducing and identifying curves.

    Main Methods:

    • Piecewise spline interpolation applied to judiciously selected nodal points on a curve.
    • Developing and applying specific rules for the selection of these critical nodal points.
    • Analyzing the sensitivity of nodal point positions to variations in waveform.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method reproduces curves with high precision using significantly fewer points than traditional methods.
    • The positions of the selected nodal points are highly sensitive to waveform changes, enabling robust identification.
    • The nodal points fully characterize the curve, allowing for its mathematical definition.

    Conclusions:

    • Judiciously selected nodal points via piecewise spline interpolation offer a precise and efficient method for curve representation.
    • This technique provides a powerful tool for curve identification and mathematical definition, with potential applications in data compression and pattern recognition.
