Implicit manifold reconstruction

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let calMsubsetmathbbRd be a compact, smooth and boundaryless manifold with dimension m and unit reach. We show how to construct a function varphi:mathbbRdightarrowmathbbRdm from a uniform (varepsilon,kappa)-sample P of calM that offers several guarantees. Let Zvarphi denote the zero set of varphi. Let widehatcalM denote the set of points at distance varepsilon or less from calM. There exists varepsilon0in(0,1) that decreases as d increases such that if varepsilonleqvarepsilon0, the following guarantees hold. First, ZvarphicapwidehatcalM is a faithful approximation of calM in the sense that ZvarphicapwidehatcalM is homeomorphic to calM, the Hausdorff distance between ZvarphicapwidehatcalM and calM is O(m5/2varepsilon2), and the normal spaces at nearby points in ZvarphicapwidehatcalM and calM make an angle O(m2sqrtkappavarepsilon). Second, varphi has local support; in particular, the value of varphi at a point is affected only by sample points in P that lie within a distance of O(mvarepsilon). Third, we give a projection operator that only uses sample points in P at distance O(mvarepsilon) from the initial point. The projection operator maps any initial point near P onto ZvarphicapwidehatcalM in the limit by repeated applications.
