Detailed Description

flexible, general interpolation kernels

vtkGeneralizedKernel is an abstract class that defines an API for concrete general-purpose, kernel subclasses. vtkGeneralizedKernels has important properties that make them useful in a variety of interpolation applications:

1. The weights are normalized.
2. The footprint of the basis is configurable.
3. Probabilistic weighting functions can be used to favor certain weights.

The following paragraphs describe each of these properties in more detail.

Normalized weightings simple mean Sum(w_i) = 1. This ensures that the interpolation process is well behaved.

The interpolation footprint is the set of points that are used to perform the interpolation process. For example, it is possible to choose between a radius-based kernel selection, and one based on the N nearest neighbors. Note that the performance and mathematical properties of kernels may vary greatly depending on which kernel style is selected. For example, if a radius-based kernel footprint is used, and the radius is too big, the algorithm can perform in n^3 fashion.

Finally, in advanced usage, probability functions can be applied to the interpolation weights (prior to normalization). These probability functions are confidence estimates that the data at a particular point is accurate. A typical application is when laser scans are used to acquire point measurements, which return normals that indicate glancing returns versus direct, near orthogonal hits. Another use is when point clouds are combined, where some clouds are acquired with more accurate, detailed devices versus a broad, potentially coarser acquisition process.

Warning
Some kernels, like the Voronoi kernel, cannot be subclasses of this class because their definition inherently defines the basis style. For example, the Voronoi kernel is simply the single closest point. SPH kernels are similar, because they implicitly depend on a particle distribution consistent with simulation constraints such as conservation of mass, etc.

◆ ComputeBasis()

vtkIdType vtkGeneralizedKernel::ComputeBasis ( double  x[3],
vtkIdList pIds,
vtkIdType  ptId = 0 
)
overridevirtual

Based on the kernel style, invoke the appropriate locator method to obtain the points making up the basis.

Given a point x (and optional associated point id), determine the points around x which form an interpolation basis. The user must provide the vtkIdList pIds, which will be dynamically resized as necessary. The method returns the number of points in the basis. Typically this method is called before ComputeWeights(). Note that ptId is optional in most cases, although in some kernels it is used to facilitate basis computation.

Implements vtkInterpolationKernel.

◆ ComputeWeights() [1/2]

virtual vtkIdType vtkGeneralizedKernel::ComputeWeights ( double  x[3],
vtkIdList pIds,
vtkDoubleArray prob,
vtkDoubleArray weights 
)
pure virtual

Given a point x, a list of basis points pIds, and a probability weighting function prob, compute interpolation weights associated with these basis points.

Note that basis points list pIds, the probability weighting prob, and the weights array are provided by the caller of the method, and may be dynamically resized as necessary. The method returns the number of weights (pIds may be resized in some cases). Typically this method is called after ComputeBasis(), although advanced users can invoke ComputeWeights() and provide the interpolation basis points pIds directly. The probably weighting prob are numbers 0<=prob<=1 which are multiplied against the interpolation weights before normalization. They are estimates of local confidence of weights. The prob may be nullptr in which all probabilities are considered =1.

Implemented in vtkEllipsoidalGaussianKernel, vtkGaussianKernel, vtkLinearKernel, vtkProbabilisticVoronoiKernel, vtkShepardKernel, vtkEllipsoidalGaussianKernel, vtkGaussianKernel, vtkLinearKernel, vtkProbabilisticVoronoiKernel, and vtkShepardKernel.

◆ ComputeWeights() [2/2]

vtkIdType vtkGeneralizedKernel::ComputeWeights ( double  x[3],
vtkIdList pIds,
vtkDoubleArray weights 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

Given a point x, and a list of basis points pIds, compute interpolation weights associated with these basis points.

Note that both the nearby basis points list pIds and the weights array are provided by the caller of the method, and may be dynamically resized as necessary. Typically this method is called after ComputeBasis(), although advanced users can invoke ComputeWeights() and provide the interpolation basis points pIds directly.
