On the Bijectivity of Thin-plate Splines

Eriksson, Anders P LU and Åström, Karl LU orcid (2005) Swedish Symposium on Image Analysis (SSBA) 2005
Abstract
The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein[1], it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite numb er of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very elegant intuitive interpretation as well as mathematical formulation it has no inherent restriction to prevent folding, i.e.
a non-bijective interpolating function. In this paper we discuss some of the properties of the set of parameterizations that form bijective thin-plate
splines, such as convexity and boundness. Methods for finding sufficient as well as necessary conditions for bijectivity are also... (More)
