| description | <p>This thesis aims to acquire, deepen and promote understanding of computing techniques for high dimensional scattered data approximation with radial basis functions. The main contributions of this thesis include sufficient conditions for the sovability of compactly supported radial basis functions with different shapes, near points preconditioning techniques for high dimensional interpolation systems with compactly supported radial basis functions, a heterogeneous hierarchical radial basis function interpolation scheme, which allows compactly supported radial basis functions of different shapes at the same level, an <em>O</em>(<em>N</em>) algorithm for constructing hierarchical scattered data set andan <em>O</em>(<em>N</em>) algorithm for sparse kernel summation on Cartesian grids. Besides the main contributions, we also investigate the eigenvalue distribution of interpolation matrices related to radial basis functions, and propose a concept of smoothness matching. We look at the problem from different perspectives, giving a systematic and concise description of other relevant theoretical results and numerical techniques. These results are interesting in themselves and become more interesting when placed in the context of the bigger picture. Finally, we solve several real-world problems. Presented applications include 3D implicit surface reconstruction, terrain modelling, high dimensional meteorological data approximation on the earth and scattered spatial environmental data approximation.</p> |
