随着科技的不断发展,具有便携、扫描范围广等优势的手持旋轴激光雷达应用愈加广泛。
为了解决手持旋轴激光雷达在运行过程中由于旋转引起的特征点稀疏导致定位建图质量差的问题,提出一种改进的SLAM算法。
在LIO SAM算法的基础上计算了一种表征点云强度信息的特征点,在提取几何特征边缘点与平面点时,将周围强度值变化较大的点作为一种新的特征点引入点云匹配。
同时,通过实时判断系统是否存在退化风险,从而动态调整滤波数值设置,保证了系统运行的稳定性。
实验结果表明,在手持旋轴激光雷达采集的户外场景数据下,经过改进的SLAM算法相比LIO SAM算法有更好的定位与建图效果。

C-DBSCAN:Density-Based Clustering with ConstraintsCarlos Ruiz1,Myra Spiliopoulou2,and Ernestina Menasalvas11Facultad de Informatica,Universidad Politecnica,Madrid,Spaincruiz@cettico.fi.upm.es,emenasalvas@fi.upm.es 2Faculty of Computer Science,Otto-von-Guericke-Universit¨a t Magdeburg,Germanymyra@iti.cs.uni-magdeburg.deAbstract.Density-based clustering methods are of particular interest for ap-plications where the anticipated groups of data instances are expected to dif-fer in size or shape,arbitrary shapes are possible and the number of clusters isnot known a priori.In such applications,background knowledge about group-membership or non-membership of some instances may be available and itsexploitation so interesting.Recently,such knowledge is being expressed as con-straints and exploited in constraint-based clustering.In this paper,we enhance thedensity-based algorithm DBSCAN with constraints upon data instances–“Must-Link”and“Cannot-Link”constraints.We test the new algorithm C-DBSCAN onartificial and real datasets and show that C-DBSCAN has superior performanceto DBSCAN,even when only a small number of constraints is available.Keywords:constraint-based clustering,semi-supervised clustering,instance-level constraints,clustering with constraints,background knowledge.1IntroductionIn the last years,clustering with instance-level constraints has received a lot of attention, because it allows the incorporation of domain knowledge to the knowledge discovery process[1].Constraint-based clustering exploits the fact that many applications deliver background information in the form of a small set of labeled data,i.e.records that should belong to the same cluster or be in distinct clusters.Such information can be exploited to guide the clustering of the non-labeled data.Examples of constraint-based clustering include the detection of road lanes from GPS data[2]and helping the nav-igation of a Sony Aibo Robot[3].Constraints improve clustering quality[2],enhance computational performance[3]and prevent the construction of empty clusters[4].Most works on constraint-based clustering have been designed for partitioning al-gorithms[2]and hierarchical algorithms[5].In this study,we apply the principle of constraint-driven cluster formation upon density-based clustering and show that in-stance-level constraints enhance performance with respect to cluster quality.Density-based algorithms identify dense data areas of separated by sparse areas.“Density”may refer to a high concentration of proximal data points or to the closeness of a data point to the mean of a Gaussian.We concentrate on one prominent example of density-based clustering,DBSCAN[6],which discovers neighbourhoods of proximal points in a metric space.DBSCAN requires no background knowledge on the number A.An et al.(Eds.):RSFDGrC2007,LNAI4482,pp.216–223,2007.c Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg2007C-DBSCAN:Density-Based Clustering with Constraints217Fig.1.(a)DS1(b)DS2(c)DS3(d)DS4.Samples where DBSCAN does not perform well. or shape of clusters nor on the data distribution.However,it performs poorly if the clus-ters are diffuse,partially overlapping,connected by“bridges”or having very different densities.These shortcomings are depicted in the examples of Fig1(artificial data).We extend DBSCAN into Constraint-driven DBSCAN“C-DBSCAN”.Wefirst par-tition the data space into subspaces and then enforce“instance-level constraints”on the data,i.e.constraints that dictate whether some points may appear in the same cluster or not.We use these constraints to drive cluster construction and show experimentally, that the clusterings produced are of higher quality than DBSCAN clusters.The rest of the paper is organized as follows:Section2discusses related literature. We describe C-DBSCAN in Section3.Section4contains ourfirst experiments that compare C-DBSCAN with the DBSCAN for various datasets and sets of constraints. Section5summarizes our results and proposes directions for further research.2Related WorkClustering with constraints[7,8],also referred to as semi-supervised clustering[9],is a relatively new research direction,in which background knowledge in the form of constraints is used to enhance the clustering process.An overview of the types of con-straints proposed in literature can be found in[7].In this study,we focus on“instance-level constraints”:They express background knowledge on the cluster membership of some data instances,i.e.that some instances must appear in the same cluster(“Must-Link”constraints)or in separate clausters(“Cannot-Link”constraints)[2].There are two approaches for constraint enforcement.In thefirst one,the objective function is modified into one that satisfies as many constraints as possible[2,10,11,3,5]. In the second one,sometimes called“distance-based”,the algorithm is trained on the data involved in constraints,learns a new metric and uses it for clustering[12,13,14].A challenging aspect is the interplay between achieving a feasible solution(i.e.en-suring convergence)and satisfying all constraints.Davidson et al have proven in[3]that the satisfaction of all Must-Link and Cannot-Link constraints when clustering with K-means is an NP-complete problem;Cannot-Link constraints may prevent the algorithm from converging.When hierarchical clustering is used instead,constraint satisfaction becomes a P-complete problem[5].In this study,we enhance a density-based algo-rithm with constraints,i.e.an algorithm that focusses on local optima,similarly to a hierarchical algorithm.This allows us to build clusters that satisfy all constraints.A number of successful density-based clustering algorithms can be found in the lit-erature,starting with DBSCAN in1996[6].DBSCAN has been designed for large and noisy datasets and is able to discover clusters of arbitrary shapes:DBSCAN introduced218 C.Ruiz,M.Spiliopoulou,and E.Menasalvasthe concept of“neighbourhood”as a region of given radius(i.e.a sphere)and containing a minimum number of data points.Connected neighbourhoods form clusters,thus de-parting from the notion of spherical cluster[6].The idea of dense neighbourhood has inspired further research on density-based clustering algorithms,including[15,16,17]. In this study,we have opted for the DBSCAN as a reference representative.3Instance-Level Constraints for Density-Based ClusteringOur constraint-based algorithm builds upon DBSCAN[6].DBSCAN identifies neigh-bourhoods around core points,i.e.points having at least MinPts neighbours within a radius E ps.Points within the same neighbourhood are density-reachable,those in overlapping neighbourhoods are density-connected.A cluster is a maximal group of overlapping neighbourhoods.C-DBSCAN extends DBSCAN in three steps:Wefirst apply a KD-Tree[18]to divide the data space into dense partitions,similarly to DESCRY[17].We enforce Cannot-Link constraints within each tree leaf,thus producing“local clusters”.Next, we merge adjacent local clusters,thereby enforcing the Must-Link constraints.Finally, we merge adjacent clusters hierarchically,while enforcing the remaining Cannot-Link constraints.3.1Partitioning the Data SpaceFor the partitioning step(cf.Algorithm1),we use the KD-Tree construction algorithm [18],which divides the data space iteratively into cubes by splitting planes that are perpendicular to the axes.Each cube becomes a node and is further partitioned,as long as it contains a minimum number of data points(the MinPts threshold of DBSCAN). The result is an unbalanced tree:small leaves capture locally dense subareas while large ones cover the less dense subareas.With this partitioning,thin bridges between dense subareas are avoided.Instead of connecting arbitrary adjacent neighbourhoods to build clusters,only neighbourhoods within the same node are considered atfirst.They are merged into“local clusters”,subject to the instance-level concstraints described below.3.2Introducing Instance-Level ConstraintsC-DBSCAN supports two types of constraints among data instances/points:A Must-Link constraint for the data points x and y states that they must be assigned to the same cluster.A Cannot-Link constraint states that they must be assigned to different clusters. Creating Local Clusters under Cannot-Link Constraints.Step2of C-DBSCAN(cf.Al-gorithm1)groups density-reachable points into“local clusters”while enforcing Cannot-Link constraints.The leaf nodes of the KD-Tree are traversed:If there is a Cannot-Link constraint involving data points within the same leaf,then each data point of the leaf becomes a singleton local cluster.If there is no Cannot-Link constraints, the conventional DBSCAN is invoked for each data point p in the leaf:It is checked whether there is a neighbourhood with at least MinPts points in a radius E ps around p.C-DBSCAN:Density-Based Clustering with Constraints219Algorithm1.C-DBSCANData:A set of instances,D.A set of must-link constraints,ML,and a set of cannot-link constraints,CL.Result:The set D partitioned into clusters that satisfy ML and CL.beginStep1:Partitioning the data space.kdtree:=BuildKDTree(D).Step2:Creating local clusters under Cannot-Link constraints.repeatfor(all unlabeled points in a leaf X)doSelect an arbitrary point p i from X.X pi ←all points in X that are within Eps radius of p i.if(X pi contains less than MinPts points)thenLabel p i as NOISE.else if(exists a Cannot-Link constraint in CL among points in X pi )thenCreate a local cluster for each point in X.Break.elseLabel p i as bel X pias LOCAL CLUSTER.until(all leaves of the kdtree have been processed)Step3a:Merging local clusters under Must-Link constraints.for(each constraint m∈ML)doJoin clusters involved in constraint m into cluster Y.Label Y as CORE LOCAL CLUSTER.Step3b:Merging clusters under Cannot-Link constraints.for(each core(local)cluster Y)dowhile(number of local clusters NLC decreases)doclosestCluster←closest local cluster to Y.if( Cannot-Link constraint in CL between points of Y and closestCluster)thenY←Y∪bel Y as CORE CLUSTER.NLC-=1.endIf the neighbourhood has too few points,then p is a noise point and is ignored.Oth-erwise,all data points that are density-reachable from it become members of the same local cluster.Merging Local Clusters under Must-Link Constraints.Must-Link constraints are en-forced in Step3a(cf.Algorithm1).If the data points involved in a Must-Link constraint belong to different local clusters,the clusters are merged into a“core local cluster”.At the end of Step3a,points that should appear together belong either to the same core lo-cal cluster(by constraint enforcement)or are already members of the same local cluster –one of the data points is a core point and the other is density-reachable from it. Merging Clusters under Cannot-Link Constraints.In Step3b(cf.Algorithm1),we further merge local clusters(also:singleton local clusters and core local clusters output220 C.Ruiz,M.Spiliopoulou,and E.Menasalvasby Step3a)to enforce Cannot-Link constraints that are not satisfied yet.For cluster merging,we use hierarchical agglomerative clustering with single linkage,but only consider density-reachable data points when we compute distances.Moreover,we let the core local clusters drive the merging process,in the sense that we do not consider arbitrary clusters as candidates but only the local clusters that are close to each core local cluster.For each such pair of candidates,we check whether they contain data points involved in a Cannot-Link constraint.If this is the case,the clusters are not merged.The algorithm stops when the number of clusters does not change any more. Discussion on Constraint Enforcement.Most constraint-based clustering algorithms make a best effort to enforce all constraints.C-DBSCAN ensures that all constraints are satisfied:Step3a enforces all Must-Link constraints;Step2enforces Cannot-Link constraints within the same KD-tree node;Step3b enforces the remaining Cannot-Link constraints by preventing the merging of clusters.This is achieved at the cost of building many small clusters,since each Cannot-Link constraint results in a singleton local cluster.We believe that some of those singleton clusters can be merged with other ones without constraint violation,so we intend to work on heuristics to this purpose. 4Experimental ResultsWe have studied the impact of constraints on the clustering results by applying C-DBSCAN and the original DBSCAN on four artificial and three real datasets with a priori known clusters.The artificial datasets contain data,for which DBSCAN is known to perform poorly(cf.Section1and Fig.1).The real datasets are from the Ma-chine Learning Repository UCI[19].They are depicted in Fig.2and summarized in Table1.In a real scenario,constraints are derived by studying a small subset of the data;they are the result of human insight.Our datasets do not contain such constraints,so we have generated some randomly.We show that even random constraints do increase cluster quality.For each dataset,we have generated a percentage x%=5%,10%,15%...100% of records involved in Must-Link constraints.The Cannot-Link constraints were derived from the Must-Link constraints and are thus interdependent.However,this only means that the percentage of independent constraints is smaller than x%.4.1Evaluation methodThe datasets we use are labeled,so we can compute cluster quality towards the known classes.For this,we use the Rand Index measure[22],which takes as input twoTable1.Data sets used in the experimentsArtificial data sets Real data setsDS1(2classes,bridge between

figures,the horizontal axis depicts the percentage of data points involved in constraints.The vertical axis shows the Rand Index value of each clustering towards the classes (the true partitioning).The Rand Index for DBSCAN is constant.We have placed this value at point Zero of the axes:Deviations from this point reflect the impact of the con-straints.The curves show that C-DBSCAN improves DBSCAN and achieves very good partitionings,reaching RandIndex values of more than 0.8for all datasets.We see that a small number of arbitrary,labeled records su ffices to guide C-DBSCAN towards a good partitioning and that no more constraints are necessary (saturation at 10%).This result strengthens the findings of [2,10]that a small amount of domain information is su fficient to achieve high performance.Fig.3.Rand Index values for C-DBSCAN with di fferent constraint-sets -Artificial datasets222 C.Ruiz,M.Spiliopoulou,and E.MenasalvasFig.4.Rand Index values for C-DBSCAN with different constraint-sets-Real datasets5ConclusionsConstraint-based clustering methods exploit background knowledge to guide the group-ing of data into clusters.We have presented C-DBSCAN,a constraint-based extension of the density-based algorithm DBSCAN[6].C-DBSCAN enforces Must-Link and Cannot-Link constraints among data points and,Differently from best-effort constraint-based clustering algorithms,it guarantees that all constraints are satisfied.Ourfirst experiments show that even constraints improve the clustering quality substantially,no-tably on datasets where the original DBSCAN performs poorly.We have observed that few constraints suffice to improve quality.We intend to study next the impact of constraint type(Must-Link vs Cannot-Link)on quality and the in-terplay of constraint type and number of constraints,using larger and more complex datasets.Further,we want to design heuristics that minimize the number of singleton clusters built by C-DBSCAN by merging clusters,while still satisfying all constraints.A direct comparison of C-DBSCAN to other algorithms,like constraint-based K-means,would not be informative,since the relative behaviour of the basic algorithms for different data distributions is already well studied.However,we plan to study whether C-DBSCAN exploits constraints more effectively than other constraint-based algorithms.References1.Kopanas,I.,Avouris,N.M.,Daskalaki,S.:The Role of Domain Knowledge in a Large ScaleData Mining Projects.In:SETN’02:Proc.of the Methods and Applications of Artificial

numpy 数值归一化的方法## Navigating the Landscape of NumPy Normalization Ah, NumPy normalization –a cornerstone of data preprocessing in the realm of machine learning and data science. It's like preparing a canvas before painting a masterpiece, ensuring that our data is well-balanced and ready for the algorithms to work their magic. And just like there are various artistic styles, NumPy offers a diverse palette of normalization techniques, each with its own nuances and applications. One of the most common methods is **min-max scaling**, which elegantly transforms our data to fit within a specific range, typically between 0 and 1. It's like taking a hike in the mountains and scaling the heights to a comfortable level ground. This technique is particularly useful when dealing with algorithms sensitive to the scale of features, such as k-nearest neighbors or support vector machines. But sometimes, we might encounter treacherous outliers in our data – those extreme values that can skew the entire picture. In such cases, **standardization** comes to the rescue. This method, also known as Z-score normalization, centers the data around zero and scales it based on the standard deviation. It's like bringing order to a bustling marketplace, ensuring that every voice is heard equally, regardless of its initial volume. Standardization is a popular choice for algorithms like linear regression and principal component analysis, which thrive on data with a mean of zero and unit variance. Now, imagine we have data points scattered across a vast expanse, forming clusters of varying densities. This is where **L1 and L2 normalization** step in, like cartographers mapping uncharted territories. L1 normalization, also known as Manhattan normalization, scales features based on the sum of their absolute values, while L2 normalization, or Euclidean normalization, considers the square root of the sum of squared values. These methods are particularly handy when dealing with sparse data or when we want to emphasize the direction of the data points rather than their magnitudes. Of course, our journey doesn't end here. We have **max normalization**, which scales features based on their maximum absolute value, bringing them within the range of -1 and 1. This technique is particularly useful when we want to preserve the relationships between features while ensuring they fall within a specific range. And for situations where we need to downplay the influence of extreme values whilemaintaining the overall distribution, we have **robust scaling**, a technique based on percentiles that proves resilient to outliers. Choosing the right normalization technique is akin to selecting the perfect brushstroke for your painting. It depends on the nature of your data, the algorithms you're using, and the specific goals you want to achieve. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses, and understanding these nuances is key to unlocking the full potential of your data analysis. So, as you embark on your data exploration journey, remember that the art of normalization is a valuable tool in your arsenal, enabling you to transform raw data into insightful masterpieces.。

样条插值法自适应滤波English:Spline interpolation is a widely used method for filling in missing or noisy data points in a dataset. It involves fitting a smooth curve or spline to the given data points in order to estimate the values at the missing or noisy points. However, standard spline interpolation techniques do not always produce satisfactory results, especially when dealing with datasets that have irregular or non-uniform sampling intervals. In such cases, adaptive filtering techniques can be employed to improve the accuracy of the spline interpolation.Adaptive filtering in spline interpolation involves adjusting the parameters of the fitting algorithm based on the characteristics of the dataset. One approach is to vary the degree of the spline based on the local density of data points. For regions with densely spaced data points, a higher degree spline can be used to capture the finer details and provide a more accurate estimation. Conversely, for regions with sparser data points, a lower degree spline can be employed to avoid overfitting. This adaptability allows the spline interpolation to better handle datasets with varying data densities.Another aspect of adaptive filtering in spline interpolation is the consideration of noise levels in the data. Noisy data points can significantly impact the accuracy of the interpolation. Therefore, it is necessary to detect and filter out the noise before performing the spline interpolation. This can be achieved by employing noise detection algorithms, such as the use of statistical measures like mean, standard deviation, or median absolute deviation. Once the noisy points have been identified, they can either be removed or replaced with more reliable estimates, such as the average of nearby points. This preprocessing step helps to reduce the impact of noise on the spline interpolation results.To summarize, adaptive filtering in spline interpolation improves the accuracy of the interpolation by adjusting the parameters based on the local data density and considering the noise levels in the dataset. This approach allows the spline interpolation to adapt to irregular or non-uniformly sampled data and provides more reliable estimates at missing or noisy data points.中文翻译:样条插值法是一种广泛应用于填补数据集中缺失或噪声数据点的方法。
2021年2月图 学 学 报 February2021第42卷第1期JOURNAL OF GRAPHICS V ol.42No.1融合稀疏点云补全的3D目标检测算法徐晨1,2,倪蓉蓉1,2,赵耀1,2(1. 北京交通大学信息科学研究所,北京 100044;2. 现代信息科学与网络技术北京市重点实验室,北京 100044)摘要:基于雷达点云的3D目标检测方法有效地解决了RGB图像的2D目标检测易受光照、天气等因素影响的问题。
但由于雷达的分辨率以及扫描距离等问题,激光雷达采集到的点云往往是稀疏的,这将会影响3D目标检测精度。
针对这个问题,提出一种融合稀疏点云补全的目标检测算法,采用编码、解码机制构建点云补全网络,由输入的部分稀疏点云生成完整的密集点云,根据级联解码方式的特性,定义了一个新的复合损失函数。
除了原有的折叠解码阶段的损失之外,还增加了全连接解码阶段存在的损失,以保证解码网络的总体误差最小,从而使得点云补全网络生成信息更完整的密集点云Y detail,并将补全的点云应用到3D目标检测任务中。
实验结果表明,该算法能够很好地将KITTI数据集中稀疏的汽车点云补全,并且有效地提升目标检测的精度,特别是针对中等和困难等级的数据效果更佳,提升幅度分别达到6.81%和9.29%。

Institute of Information Science, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China;2. Beijing Key Laboratory of Modern Information Science and Network Technology, Beijing 100044, China)Abstract: The 3D object detection method based on radar point cloud effectively solves the problem that the 2D object detection based on RGB images is easily affected by such factors as light and weather. However, due to such issues as radar resolution and scanning distance, the point clouds collected by lidar are often sparse, which will undermine the accuracy of 3D object detection. To address this problem, an object detection algorithm fused with sparse point cloud completion was proposed. A point cloud completion network was constructed using encoding and decoding mechanisms. A complete dense point cloud was generated from the input partial sparse point cloud.According to the characteristics of the cascade decoder method, a new composite loss function was defined. In addition to the loss in the original folding-based decoder stage, the compound loss function also added the loss in the fully connected decoder stage to ensure that the total error of the decoder network was minimized.

At the tender age of 24, she suffered a devastating spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed from the neck down. In an instant, her world turned upside down, and the dreams she had nurtured for a lifetime seemed to shatter around her.Yet, despite the overwhelming odds, Wang Hedi refused to surrender. Her indomitable spirit and an unquenchable thirst for life fueled her every step, even when those steps were confined to the boundaries of her wheelchair. With unwavering determination, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, realizing that her disability did not define her worth or limit her potential.As I delved deeper into Wang Hedi's story, I found myself in awe of her resilience.

A simple name, but one that has profound meaning for me and my pursuit of understanding the human experience through the lens of history. This ordinary-sounding name first reached my ears in a rather underwhelming way - just a brief mention by my high school history teacher as we rushed through the modern era in our textbook. But those two words, casually uttered, awakened something inside me that has driven my academic path ever since.You see, Wang Hedi was a young woman, just a girl really, who got caught up in the tumultuous events of the Cultural Revolution in 1960s China. From the sparse details provided, she was persecuted and ultimately executed by the revoluionary authorities, punished for merely being a member of the urban intelligentsia class. A mind filled with potential and dreams, snuffed out for no justifiable reason. I remember feeling astartling sense of injustice and sadness upon hearing her name and fate, even though it was relayed so matter-of-factly by my teacher before we moved on to the next topic.In that fleeting moment, Wang Hedi became more than just a random name or vague statistic - she represented the many individuals whose lives were forever altered or ended during such turbulent periods in history, when ideological fervor outweighed human reason and decency. I couldn't shake the thought of who she was as a person - her hopes, her fears, her loved ones. What did her smile look like? What dreams did she have for the future? All that human potential, just...gone.From then on, I became somewhat obsessed with learning more about Wang Hedi and the Cultural Revolution in an effort to better understand how such tragedies could occur. I pored over books, essays, documentaries - anything that could provide more context around this brief life that had touched me so deeply. The more I learned, the more I understood how complex historical events and societal shifts can be, with a multitude of perspectives and human stories underlying the broad strokes of the past that we too often take at face value.My quest to truly know Wang Hedi's narrative unlocked a passion for giving a voice to those who had theirs permanentlysilenced. I found myself drawn to analyzing human rights movements, revolutions, and conflicts throughout history - not just reciting facts and dates, but striving to capture the profoundly personal impacts on the individuals caught up in the churn of those events. Every name, every person, had a rich life story to illuminate.As I progressed through my studies, diving deeper into 20th century Chinese history and the socio-political forces that led to the Cultural Revolution, Wang Hedi's name remained my talisman. When I would get bogged down in dense academic texts, I would refocus by asking myself - what would Wang Hedi, that passionate young woman with so much unrealized potential, want us to understand? How could I amplify her perspective and those of the innocents like her? It drove me to always strive for a more nuanced, humane understanding of the past and present.Even now, as I prepare to enter my PhD program focused on East Asian cultural studies, the mere utterance of "Wang Hedi" fills me with a sense of purpose and responsibility. While I will never truly know the specific details of her life, she has become emblematic of the millions throughout history who suffered unjustly at the hands of oppressive regimes, cultural purges, and unchecked abuses of power and ideology.In my studies and writings, I aim to shed light on the stories of those like Wang Hedi - the marginalized voices, the persecuted innocents, the ones whose human experiences risk being flattened and simplified into mere statistics and footnotes.I will continue asking the questions she can no longer ask and striving to understand all the nuances and complex contexts that led to her untimely demise. Her name compels me to empathize, to humanize, to never treat past events and human lives as emotionless data points.Ultimately, Wang Hedi's story, her very name, taught me that genuine understanding of history stems from fully connecting to the personal journeys underlying those broad narratives. The human experience, in all its complicated beauty and tragedy, must be the beating heart driving our intellectual pursuits into the past. Only through developing such empathetic frameworks can we aspire to build a better future - one where innocent dreamers like Wang Hedi are never persecuted for who they are, but rather are celebrated for their hopes, their potential, their very humanity.So while her journey was mercilessly cut short, Wang Hedi's legacy endures through the immense impact her name had in sparking my path as a student of the human spirit through thelens of history. With every analysis, every paragraph, every lecture I give, I strive to honor the individual lives, stories, and truths that lie beyond just the names and dates. Wang Hedi's dying words may have been silenced, but I will ensure her voice echoes through my life's work of amplifying the human experience woven through our collective past.篇3My Encounter with Wang Hedi - A Story of InspirationAs students, we often find ourselves caught up in the whirlwind of academic demands, extracurricular activities, and the pressures of everyday life. It's easy to become consumed by the pursuit of success, losing sight of the essence of what truly matters. However, my encounter with Wang Hedi, a remarkable individual, taught me a profound lesson about the power of resilience, compassion, and the indomitable human spirit.It was a crisp autumn day when our class was scheduled for a field trip to a local community center.

Upon arriving, we were greeted by the warm smiles of the center's staff and introduced to their special guest speaker –Wang Hedi.At first glance, Wang Hedi appeared like any other elderly woman, her face etched with the lines of a lifetime of experiences. However, as she began to share her story, a captivating aura enveloped the room, and we were all instantly transfixed.Wang Hedi recounted her harrowing experiences during the tumultuous years of World War II. Born into a humble family in a small village, she witnessed firsthand the devastation and suffering that war can bring. Her voice wavered as she described the loss of her parents and the constant fear that plagued her childhood. Despite the weight of her circumstances, she persevered, her determination fueled by an unwavering desire to survive and create a better future for herself.As she spoke, I found myself drawn into her narrative, my heart swelling with admiration for her courage and resilience. In the face of unimaginable adversity, Wang Hedi chose to embrace hope, refusing to let the darkness of her past define her. She emphasized the importance of education, which became her beacon of light, guiding her towards a path of personal growth and empowerment.With unwavering determination, Wang Hedi pursued her studies, often in secret and under the constant threat of discovery. She spoke of the countless sacrifices she made,working tirelessly to support herself while continuing her education. Her eyes sparkled as she recounted the joy she felt upon receiving her hard-earned diploma, a symbol of her triumph over the challenges that had once seemed insurmountable.But Wang Hedi's story did not end there. She went on to become a teacher, dedicating her life to imparting knowledge and instilling values of compassion and perseverance in the younger generation. Her gentle demeanor and infectious positivity touched the lives of countless students, inspiring them to chase their dreams and never give up, no matter the obstacles.As her captivating tale drew to a close, a profound silence fell over the room. We were all left in awe, our perspectives forever altered by the depth of her experiences and the resilience she embodied.In that moment, I realized the true power of the human spirit – the ability to rise above adversity, to find strength in the face of insurmountable odds, and to use one's experiences as a catalyst for positive change. Wang Hedi's story was a testament to the transformative impact that a single life can have, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope can prevail.As I reflected on her words, I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Their struggles paved the way for the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today. Wang Hedi's unwavering determination to pursue education, despite the risks, resonated deeply with me, reminding me of the privilege I have to learn and grow without fear.Her message transcended the confines of her personal narrative, becoming a call to action for all of us. She encouraged us to embrace empathy, to stand against injustice, and to use our voices to create positive change in the world around us. Her unwavering belief in the power of education inspired me to approach my studies with renewed vigor, recognizing the transformative potential that knowledge holds.As I left the community center that day, I carried with me a newfound appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact that a single life can have. Wang Hedi's story had become a guiding light, reminding me to never take the privileges I enjoy for granted and to use my education as a tool to make a positive difference in the world.In the months and years that followed, I found myself drawn to stories of resilience and perseverance, seeking inspirationfrom the lives of those who had overcome incredible odds. I developed a deeper empathy for those who had endured hardships, and a burning desire to use my knowledge and skills to create positive change.Wang Hedi's story has become a permanent part of my journey, a constant reminder of the power of hope, determination, and the indomitable human spirit. Her unwavering courage in the face of adversity continues to inspire me, fueling my passion for learning and driving me to make a meaningful impact on the world around me.As I embark on the next chapter of my life, I carry with me the lessons learned from Wang Hedi's remarkable tale.

llamaindex 索引类型## English Response.The llamaindex indexing type is a hybrid indexing technique that combines locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) with a variant of Locality-Sensitive Binary Codes (LSBC) called CSI (Compact Sparse Index). It was developed by OpenAI to improve the accuracy and efficiency of nearest neighbor search in large-scale datasets.Key Features of llamaindex Indexing:Efficient Nearest Neighbor Search: llamaindex excels at finding similar items in a dataset, making it ideal for tasks like image retrieval, document search, and recommendation systems.Hybrid Approach: It combines the strengths of LSH and CSI, which allows it to handle both dense and sparse data effectively.Scalable: llamaindex is designed for large-scale datasets, with support for billions of data points.Fast Indexing and Querying: It offers fast indexing and querying times, making it practical for real-world applications.How llamaindex Works:1. Data Preprocessing: The data is zunächst preprocessed to extract features and reduce dimensionality, which helps improve the indexing efficiency.2. LSH Hashing: The preprocessed data is then hashed using LSH, which assigns similar data points to the same or nearby hash bins.3. CSI Code Generation: Each hash bin is converted intoa compact sparse index (CSI) code, which is a binary vector with only a small number of non-zero elements.4. Nearest Neighbor Search: To search for similar items, the query is converted into a CSI code and compared to the stored CSI codes. The items with the most similar codes are the nearest neighbors.Advantages of llamaindex Indexing:Improved Accuracy: llamaindex typically achieveshigher accuracy in nearest neighbor search compared toother indexing methods.Extended Applicability: It can handle both dense and sparse data, making it versatile for various applications.Computational Efficiency: The hybrid approach of llamaindex reduces computational costs and speeds up the indexing and querying processes.Scalability: Its ability to handle large datasets makes it suitable for practical applications with massive data volumes.Applications of llamaindex Indexing:llamaindex indexing has a wide range of applications, including:Image Retrieval: Finding similar images in large image databases.Document Search: Retrieving documents with similar content from vast collections.Clustering: Grouping similar data points into clusters for analysis and classification.Recommendation Systems: Suggesting personalized recommendations based on user preferences.Machine Learning: Enhancing the performance of machine learning algorithms by utilizing nearest neighbor information.## 中文回答:llamaindex 索引类型。
Fair,G 2-and C 2-continuous circle splines for the interpolationof sparse data pointsCarlo H.Se´quin *,Kiha Lee,Jane Yen EECS,Computer Science Division,University of California,639Soda Hall #1776,Berkeley,CA,USAReceived 7October 2003;received in revised form 21May 2004;accepted 9June 2004AbstractThis paper presents a carefully chosen curve blending scheme between circles,which is based on angles,rather than point positions.The result is a class of circle splines that robustly produce fair-looking G 2-continuous curves without any cusps or kinks,even through rather challenging,sparse sets of interpolation points.With a simple reparameterization the curves can also be made C 2-continuous.The same method is usable in the plane,on the sphere,and in 3D space.q 2004Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.Keywords:CAD;Circle splines;Curves and surfaces;Geometric modeling;Sparse data interpolation1.Introduction,motivationFair,interpolatory spline curves are useful constructs for many application domains and design environments,ranging from the construction of ship hulls and aerodynamic profiles,through key-frame animation,to smooth camera motions for flying around objects of interests.For certain applications,such as aesthetic designs or camera paths,smooth,nicely rounded paths—free of cusps and abrupt hairpin turns—are more important than the property of affine invariance.In these situations,schemes based on circles can more easily satisfy such demands than polynomial splines.A few blending schemes have been developed that aim to accommodate circular arcs whenever possible.Biarcs generate segments of the overall curve with pairs of circular arcs connected with tangent continuity [2,8,9,15,16].Other schemes use a gradual blending between corresponding points on two circular arcs;they can achieve smooth looking paths with G 1-or G 2-continuity,depending on the exact blending procedure used [6,14,18].The most ambitious approaches involve global curve optimization,such as the minimum energy curve (MEC)[4],or the minimum variation curve (MVC)[7,10],in which circles result as the zero-cost solution whenever permitted by the constraints.The original motivation for the development of circle splines [11]was to provide smooth,pleasing curves embedded in the surface of a sphere,either for a special class of geometrical sculpture (Fig.1),or for the definition of a camera path that flies around a stationary object approximating a Grand Tour [1],looking inward to inspect that object from ‘all sides’.However,the new robust solution presented in this paper gives equally good results in the plane and for space curves in three-(3D)or higher-dimensional Euclidean space.The primary goal still is to define aesthetically pleasing curves with just a few ‘fix-points’.Artists often like to construct a well-rounded fair curve,with a ‘natural’look such as the shape of a stiff steel wire,confined in space at only a few points,but with the additional capability to adjust its length locally so as to give each loop an optimal bulge that leads to the smoothest possible transitions in curvature.Currently such shapes seem to be realizable only in the virtual world of a good CAD environment.Our goal for these curves was to achieve as much of the behavior of a MVC as possible,but with a strictly local support domain.The result is a new class of interpolating circle splines that not only achieve the desired goal on the sphere,but also improve the properties of the circle-blending schemes previously described in two-(2D)or three-dimensional Euclidean space.0010-4485//$-see front matter q 2004Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.cad.2004.06.009Computer-Aided Design 37(2005)201–211/locate/cad*Corresponding author.E-mail

and P i C 1.These points alone determine the shape of that segment.Thus,these curves have tightly limited local support.For the special case where all but one interpolation point,P i ,lie on a straight line (Fig.2),only four curve segments will deviate from a perfect straight line.In the special case depicted in Fig.3,where all the interpolation points lie on two circular arcs,only the single transition segment will deviate from a perfect circular arc.In general,the curve segment between points P i and P i C 1is formed by first fitting a circular arc,arc i ,through points P i K 1,P i ,P i C 1,in sequence,and a second arc,arc i C 1,through points P i ,P i C 1,and P i C 2(Fig.4).Then,in the region between P i and P i C 1the two circular arcs are blended together by gradually shifting the weight from arc i to arc i C 1,as the parametric curve point moves from P i to P i C 1.The crucial question is,how exactly should one perform this blending operation?Wenz [18]achieves this blending operation by performing a linear positional interpolation between corresponding points on the two base arcs that have the same parameter values.The two arcs,arc i (u )and arc i C 1(u ),are parameterized so that they are traced from P i to P i C 1as the parameter u goes from 0to ing a simple linear blending scheme (Fig.5a),the new parametric curve point is then found as:P ðu ÞZ ð1K u Þarc i ðu ÞC u arc i C 1ðu Þ:(1)Szilvasi-Nagi and Vendel [14]improved on that scheme,by replacing the linear interpolation function with a trigonometrically weighted blending function (Fig.5b):P ðu ÞZ cos 2ðu p =2Þarc i ðu ÞC sin 2ðu p =2Þarc i C 1ðu Þ:(2)This has the effect that the blend curve clings more strongly to the base arcs near the end points P i and P i C 1,and thereby picks up the curvature of the base arcs in addition to their tangents at P i and P i C 1,respectively.This guarantees that the individually generated blend segments will join with G 2-continuity across all the interpolation points.However,both these schemes can produce undesirable loops or even cusps,when the control polygon through the sequence of given data points shows large turning angles at some point (Fig.6).The main problem is that the straight parameter lines that connect equivalent points on the two base arcs,along which the positional interpolation is performed,may intersect one another,which in turn can lead to self-intersections of the blending segment itself.In a 2001SIGGRAPH sketch [11],we proposed to remedy that situation by using an angle-based interpolation scheme that could prevent excessive looping and cusps.This method was based on a subdivision approach.In each step it only constructed a new segment midpoint S A between the interpolation points,P i and P i C 1.The new segment midpoint S A was found by constructing the halfway point on an intermediary circular arc through P i and P i C 1that averaged the turning angles,angle (P i S i P i C 1)and angle (P i S i C 1P i C 1),found at the midpoints S i and S i C 1of the two base arcs (Fig.7).As Fig.7shows,this scheme produced a new subdivision data point S A that lies much closer topointsFig.1.(a)A circle spline and its control polygon on a sphere;(b)a sculpture model derived from a sweep along such a circlespline.Fig.2.Influence zone of point P i.Fig.3.Zones of perfect circles.C.H.Se´quin et al./Computer-Aided Design 37(2005)201–211202P i and P i C 1than the point S P produced by positionalinterpolation between the two arc midpoints S i and S i C 1.This makes it easier for the solid blend curve through S A than for the dashed curve through S P to reach the data point P i C 1with the proper tangent direction,without producing extraneous loops or cusps.However,with this subdivision scheme we were unable to make any formal claims about the degree of continuity of the curves it produced—even though visually the curves looked very pleasing.Indeed,it appears,that the achievable continuity might be G 1(tangent continuity)at best.Another shortcoming of this subdivision approach arose from potential numerical instabilities when the scheme was extended to general 3D space curves,since the approach described required the explicit calculation of the sphere that could be fitted through the four control points P i K 1,P i ,P i C 1,P i C 2.As these points approached a nearly coplanar configuration,and the radius of the sphere thus became extremely large,the accuracy of the evaluation became questionable.With this paper we present an approach that overcomes all these deficiencies.The key ideas of circle splines are retained:for each segment of the control polygon,a blend between two conceptual circular arcs is constructed.The main contribution of this paper is to show a simple and robust scheme that works in almost exactly the same way in 2D,in 3D,or on a sphere,so that the same algorithm can be used in all three cases.The scheme does not calculate the radius or the center of these arcs or spheres explicitly and thereby offers a smooth transition to linear segments and to planar blend curves.A second key point is to demonstrate that the angle-averaging technique is indeed crucial to the good behavior of these circle splines.Finally,the new approach allows proper analysis of the continuity properties of the new scheme.It is shown that strict G 2-continuity can be achieved for all points of thecurve and that C 2-continuous curves can be obtained with a simple reparameterization.3.Curve constructionWe assume that the curve is defined by a sequence of interpolatory constraint points P 0,P 1,.P i ,.P n (the ‘control polygon’).To form a circle spline,we form a blend between two circular arcs for every segment (P i ,P i C 1).Arc i is defined to go through points P i K 1,P i ,P i C 1in sequence,and arc i C 1through points P i ,P i C 1,P i C 2.These two base arcs define the tangent vectors t i and t i C 1and the curvatures of the composite curve at points P i and P i C 1,respectively.Our approach guarantees that the blend curve picks up these end conditions at points P i ,P i C 1,that it is well-behaved in between (i.e.has no cusps and no self-intersections),and that it has finite curvature,as long as the control polygon does not have a joint with a turning angle of 1808.If one of the two base arcs is undefined,because we are dealing with an end-segment of the control polygon where either P i K 1or P i C 2are missing,we use the remaining base arc directly without anyblending.Fig.4.Generic blending approach using four consecutive datapoints.Fig.5.Blending functions:(a)linear and (b)parison of positional (S P ),and angle-based (S A )blending.Fig.6.Interpolation of point positions on two circles,using (a)linear [18]and (b)trigonometric [14]blending.C.H.Se ´quin et al./Computer-Aided Design 37(2005)201–211203Fig.8shows the construction in the plane.The blend between arc i (top)and arc i C 1(bottom)does not occur by simply interpolating circle point positions,as was the case in Fig.6.Instead,as the point P (u )travels across an arc,arc(u )from P i to P i C 1,the arc morphs from arc i (u Z 0)to arc i C 1(u Z 1).Any intermediate arc(u )is defined by the two points P i and P i C 1and by its tangent t (u )at P i .The direction angle t (u )of this tangent is used to parameterize the morphing process of these arcs.If we use a linear blend (Fig.8a),we will obtain G 1-continuity at the junctions between sub-sequent segments.To obtain G 2-continuity (Fig.8b),we use a trigonometric blend between the two extreme direction angles t i and t i C 1given by the tangent vectors t i and t i C 1of the base arcs,arc i and arc i C 1:t ðu ÞZ t i cos 2ðu p =2ÞC t i C 1sin 2ðu p =2Þ:(3)The advantage of this angle-based morphing from one base arc to the other is that the parameter lines for constant u do not intersect;this is a key reason why cusps or self-intersections do not occur in these curve segments.Note that in the case of trigonometric blending (Fig.8b),the blend curve ‘hugs’the base arcs much longer,thus producing junctions with G 2-continuity.3.1.Robust calculationsTo handle robustly the case of arcs of arbitrary large radii,including straight-line connections between P i and P i C 1,we avoid calculations that involve the centers or radii of the circular arcs.When ‘fitting a circle through P i K 1,P i ,P i C 1,we only need to determine the tangent direction of arc i at P i and its relevant turning angle with respect to the control segment b between P i and P i C 1.First we calculate several unit direction vectors for the control polygon:a Z ðP i K P i K 1Þ=j P i K P i K 1j ;b Z ðP i C 1K P i Þ=j P i C 1K P i j ;c Z ðP i C 1K P i K 1Þ=j P i C 1K P i K 1j ;d Z ðP i C 2K P i C 1Þ=j P i C 2K P i C 1j ;e Z ðP i C 2K P i Þ=j P i C 2K P i j :(4)Then we calculate the relevant tangent angles at P i andat P i C 1:t i Z angle ðP i ;P i K 1;P i C 1ÞZ arccos ða ,c Þ;t i C 1Z angle ðP i C 1;P i C 2;P i ÞZ arccos ðe ,d Þ;(5)The actual tangent directions,t i and t i C 1,that define the two arcs,arc i and arc i C 1,can be found by rotating the direction vector b around the appropriate rotation axes by the amounts indicated in Eq.(5):axis i Z b !a ;axis i C 1Z b !d :(6)The tangent angle t m i C 1Z K t i C 1;required to calculate the angle-interpolated arc(u )from its starting point at P i ,is obtained by mirroring the tangent t i C 1at the perpen-dicular bisector between P i and P i C 1.In this way we can obtain all the elements needed for the computation of the intermediate arc,arc(u ),without explicit reference to any circles (Fig.9a).In the same fashion,the point P (u )traveling on arc(u )is parametrically described as a distance from endpoint P i :f ðu ÞZ b sin ðu t ðu ÞÞ=sin ðt ðu ÞÞ;(7)and a deviation angle from line segment (P i ,P i C 1):f ðu ÞZ ð1K u Þt ðu Þ;(8)where b is the length j P i ,P i C 1j of line segment (P i ,P i C 1).It should be pointed out that this constitutes a constant-velocity parameterization along the arc,and that the angle f (u )linearly decreases from an initial value of t (u )to a final value of zero (Fig.9b).For the case of a straight segment between P i and P i C 1,implying an infinite radius,f (u )is simply constant at value zero,and the distance function f (u )converges towards f (u )Z ub .Note that this calculation is applicable,regardless whether we draw a circle spline in a given plane,on a given sphere,or freely in 3D space.Once the base tangent directions have been determined,the swiveling,interpolated tangent vectors determine the intermediate arcs,and for each one of them,the procedure above determines the point P (u )needed to form the blend curve.3.2.Circle splines in spaceIf the data points happen to lie in an arbitrary configuration in 3-or higher-dimensional space,the above construction for the plane needs to be enhanced by an additional degree of freedom.For that purpose we introduce a Swivel-Plane that rotates around the line segment (P i ,P i C 1),from a position coplanar with P i K 1,P i ,P i C 1,to a position coplanar with P i ,P i C 1,P i C 2,as the parameter u increases from 0to 1(Fig.10).For any value of u ,we conceptually construct that Swivel_Pla-ne(u ),and arc(u )embedded in it,and then a single curve point P (u )on that arc.To find that point P (u )it is sufficient to determine a tangent vector t (u )at point P i,Fig.8.Family of arcs for forming the blend curves:(a)linearly,(b)trigonometrically interpolated circle splines.C.H.Se´quin et al./Computer-Aided Design 37(2005)201–211204which implicitly defines the intermediate arc(u ).This tangent t (u )is found by a swivel operation in the plane spanned by t i and by t m i C 1;the mirrored tangent t i C 1drawn at P i ,rotating around the axis given by:axis i _t Z t i !t m i C 1:(9)This swivel operation could simply be done at a linear rate,but with the aim for G 2-continuity,we use again the trigonometric blending function of Eq.(3).With t (u )defined,the point P (u )is then found in the plane defined by t (u ),P i and P i C 1using Eqs.(7)and (8).In reality this means that we rotate the vector f (u )that defines P (u )around an axis:axis i _f Z t ðu Þ!b ;(10)by the amount f (u ),rather than around the z -axis as in the planar case.With this construction,each blended curve segment will individually lie on a sphere that passes through four consecutive points of the control polygon,and which hasthe plane spanned by t i and by t m i C 1as a tangent plane at point P i .The new trigonometrically-weighted,angle-based blending will guarantee that adjoining curve segments adopt the same osculating circles at their junction point;this results in common tangent directions,osculating planes,and curvatures,i.e.G 2-continuity.Again,cusps and excessive loops in these segments are avoided;and this same scheme thus also produces very pleasing,smooth space curves.An example of a Figure-8-Knot defined by only eight control points is shown in Fig.11.In summary,here is a unified description of how to construct circle splines in (n -dimensional)Euclidean space.First,construct circles through three consecutive data points;these define the tangent directions at the middle points.Next,look at the two base arcs that span the control segment P i ,P i C 1,and determine the unit tangents to both arcs at both points,P i and P i C 1.The two tangents at each point define a plane in which the angle-based swivel operation will be carried out.For any value of the parameter u ,the interpolated tangents at P i and P i C 1will define an intermediary arc(u )from P i to P i C 1,and the point with parameter value u on this arc will be point P (u )of the blended curve segment.3.3.Circle splines on the sphereThe construction of a circle spline on a sphere automatically follows from the approach describedaboveFig.9.Robust calculations of (a)the tangent angles at P i and (b)the position of an intermediate blend point P (u).Fig.10.Planes and tangents in 3Dspace.Fig.11.Circle splines forming a Figure-8-Knot in three-space (cross-eye stereo view).C.H.Se ´quin et al./Computer-Aided Design 37(2005)201–211205for 3D space.The only difference is that now all the datapoints lie on a single sphere.Since each blend curve segment lies on a sphere defined by four consecutive data point,the whole curve will now also lie on the given sphere.Fig.12shows the construction of an arbitrary curve point P (u )on the intermediate arc(u )within Swivel_Plane(u ).Thus,for one blend segment at a time,the construction is identical in 3D space and on a sphere.The implied spheres for subsequent blend segments share the same base arc through the common junction point.Also,using the approach discussed in Section 3.1,there is no need to calculate the parameters of these spheres explicitly,and thus the transition from a very large sphere to a plane is smooth and natural.Fig.13shows examples of circle splines on spheres where the control polygons offer only very sparse data sets.The same local ‘spherical confinement’for consecutive blending segments also produces very pleasing looking splines for free-form 3D space curves in a rather robust manner (Fig.11).3.4.G 2-continuity of individual blend segmentsCircle splines offer strict G 2-continuity.To prove this,we first analyze the smoothness of an individual blend curve,and then the continuity at the junctions between them.A single blend curve is best analyzed in the context of the family of parameterized arcs (Fig.8).For the planar case,the motion of the point P (u )has two components:a ‘tangential’component that carries the point along an arc from P i towards P i C 1,and a ‘radial’component due to the change in the shape of the arc as its tangent angle t (u )with (P i ,P i C 1)varies.Both these motion components are smooth and infinitely differentiable;thus C 2-continuity is guaranteed.To assert G 2-continuity,we have to show thatthe combination of these movements cannot produce any cusps,as may occur for polynomial curves when all component velocities simultaneously drop to zero.Both the above two motions are monotonic and without turn-around points,so the respective velocity components never go to zero.They also do not align anywhere,so that their individual velocities could cancel each other.In the case of space curves,we also have to consider the ‘swivel’component (Fig.10)produced by the rotation of the arc plane around the axis (P i ,P i C 1).The tangent t (u )can be found by rotating t i (u )by the amount of Eq.(3)around axis Eq.(9).Thus for u Z 0the Swivel_Plane is identical to Plane i and for u Z 1it is coplanar with Plane i C 1.This motion has a velocity component that drops to zero only on the rotation axis.However,since neither the tangential nor the radial velocity ever drop to zero,no cusps can form on this axis either.An attempt was made to combine the expressions for the three individual component movements into a single explicit formula,which could then be differentiated to find the extremas of the velocities of P (u ).But this explicit formulation becomes too complicated to formulate a rigorous proof that under no combinations of parameters the length of the derivative vector ever assumes the value zero.A few minutes with the interactive graphics applet [12],wildly moving around the various control points,makes a much more convincing statement about the robust behavior of the interpolating curve segment.3.5.G 2-Continuity of the junctionsTo analyze the continuity of the junction between two consecutive blend segments at P i ,we use the base arc through P i K 1,P i ,and P i C 1as a reference and study the rate at which the two blend curves on either side of point P i deviate from this arc.Of course,we cannot expect to obtain C 1-continuity through this junction,unless we reparameterize the base arc segments on either side according to their relative arc lengths (Section 3.6).For the planar case,each blend segment is calculated in polar coordinates (f ,f )as a point P (u )moving away from point P i (Section 3.1).By converting to Cartesian coordinates and substituting t (u )from Eq.(3),we obtain a single continuous vector expression that explicitly describes the shape of the blend segment as a function of the parameter u 2[0,1]:Fig.12.Construction of an intermediate curve point of a circle spline embedded in asphere.Fig.13.Examples of circle splines and their control polygons on spheres.C.H.Se´quin et al./Computer-Aided Design 37(2005)201–211206PðuÞZ½fðuÞcos fðuÞ;fðuÞsin fðuÞ :(11)We differentiate this expression twice,and collect the non-zero terms for u Z0.Thefirst derivative at point P i evaluates to:P0ð0ÞZ½b t i cosðt iÞ=sinðt iÞ;b t i ;with b Z j P i K P i C1j;(12)which is the proper tangent velocity on arc i through P i. In order to calculate the curvature k at point P i,we evaluate the expression k Z j P0!P00j/j P0j3for u ing trigonometric blending(Eq.(3)),the curvature k becomes: kð0ÞZ2sinðt iÞ=b;(13) which is equal to the curvature of the arc i through P i. The same analysis applies at point P i C1.More intuitively, the quadratic term in the trigonometric blending formula forces the deviation of curvature from the base arc near the junction to be at least linear,thus going to zero at the junction itself;therefore the curvatures of both segments match that of the base arc and thus are equal to each other.For the case of space curves,there is an additional degree of freedom to be concerned about,but conceptually the situation is the same.Again,the deviation from the common base arc is governed by the swiveling tangent vector t(u), but now the two deviations of the two segments may lie in different planes.However,since that deviation is a function of the same degree as in the planar case,it does not matter; the two curve segments will still meet at the junction with the curvature of the base arc.With trigonometric blending,G2-continuity can be main-tained at all junctions,as long as we avoid degenerate control polygons with zero-length control segments.With a simple linear angular blending,on the other hand,not as many terms vanish,and some terms containing t i C1remain in the expression for the curvature at point P i.Thus the curvatures of the two blend curves joining together at point P i are not solely dependent on the curvature of the base arc through P i, and curvature continuity can thus not be guaranteed.3.6.Reparameterization for C2-continuityIn order to also obtain parametric continuity at the segment junctions,we need to reparameterize the velocities with which the individual segments are traversed. One possible adjustment would be tofind an explicit arc-length parameterization,so that we can traverse all segments with uniform velocity;however,the necessary calculations are rather involved,and there is a simpler way. Assuming trigonometric blending,the blended curve segments pick up the behavior of the base arcs near the interpolation points to the second degree.Thus we may change the parameterization of all base arc segments so as to maintain a predefinedfixed arc-length velocity on all base arc segments,valid on both sides of any interpolation point. To obtain C1-continuity on the circle spline,we then need a parameterization for the blend segments that matches these end-velocities defined on the base arcs.For this we need at least a quadratic function to provide enough degrees of freedom to meet all the constraints.If we aim for C2-continuity,we need a quartic function,so that we can also set the accelerations at the junctions to zero:uðtÞZ a C bt C ct2C dt3C et4:Now we use the following constraints:uð0ÞZ0;implies a Z0;u0ð0ÞZ v i;implies b Z v i;u00ð0ÞZ0;implies c Z0;uðt maxÞZ1;u00ðt maxÞZ v i C1;u00ðt maxÞZ0;A few lines of arithmetic resolve these constraints to:t max Z2=ðv i C v i C1Þ;d Zðv i C1K v iÞðv i C v i C1Þ2=4;e Zðv i K v i C1Þðv i C v i C1Þ3=16;By applying this reparameterization,we get C2-continuity at the junctions and a reasonably regular spacing of the time tick marks along the whole curve,as shown in Fig.14b compared to the original spacing which employed afixed number of tick marks on each segment(Fig.14a).4.Results and properties of circle splinesFig.15shows a direct comparison of the new angle-based circle spline(Fig.15a)with two previous circle blending schemes using either linear[18](Fig.15b)or trigonometric interpolation[14](Fig.15c)of point positions.Note that the latter two schemes look much‘loopier’and that they may produce cusps for certain control polygons.Fig.15further compares some polynomial interpolation schemes;(d)is a cubic subdivision scheme[19],and(e)and (f)use Waring–Lagrange interpolation[13,17]. These schemes all exhibit rather sharp turns near some of the control points,accompanied with excessive values in curvature.The subdivision scheme also features some extraneous sign inversions in the middle of some segments. The basic Lagrange interpolation exhibits some excessive overshoots(Fig.15e),which can be mitigated somewhat by using non-uniform knot intervals,proportional in length to the lengths of the corresponding control polygon segments (Fig.15f).None of these schemes can compete with the smooth,curvy appearance(Fig.15a)of the angle-basedC.H.Se´quin et al./Computer-Aided Design37(2005)201–211207。
