With the advent of the big data era, the data sets to be fitted are made larger and larger, leading to more and more least-squares fitting systems with singular coefficient matrices. LSPIA (least-squares progressive iterative approximation) is an efficient iterative method for the least-squares fitting. However, the convergence of LSPIA for the singular least-squares fitting systems remains as an open problem. In this paper, the authors showed that LSPIA for the singular least-squares fitting systems is convergent. Moreover, in a special case, LSPIA converges to the Moore-Penrose (M-P) pseudo-inverse solution to the least- squares fitting result of the data set. This property makes LSPIA, an iterative method with clear geometric meanings, robust in geometric modeling applications. In addition, the authors discussed some implementation detail of LSPIA, and presented an example to validate the convergence of LSPIA for the singular least-squares fitting systems.展开更多

Before carrying out model reconstruction it issignificant to extract geometric features because the quality of modeling greatly depends on therepresentation of features. Some fitting techniques of natural quadric surfaces with least-squaresmethod are described. And these techniques can be directly used to extract quadric surfaces featuresduring the process of segmentation for point cloud.展开更多

In this approach, the singularly perturbed delay differential equations is modified by approximating the term containing negative shift using Taylor series expansion. After approximating the coefficient of the second derivative of the new equation, we introduced a fitting parameter and determined its value using the theory of singular Perturbation;O’Malley [1]. The three term recurrence relation obtained is solved using Thomas algorithm. The applicability of the method is tested by considering five linear problems (two problems on left layer and one problem on right layer) and two nonlinear problems.展开更多

For a point expressed in the machine reference frame and a deformable smooth surface represented in its own model frame, a signed point-to-surface distance function is defined, and its increment with respect to the differential motion and differential deformation of the surface is derived. On this basis, localization, surface reconstruction and geometric variation characterization are formulated as a unified nonlinear least-squares problem defined on the product space SE(3)×Km. By using Levenberg-Marquardt method, a sequential approximation surface fitting algorithm is developed. It has the advantages of implementational simplicity, computational efficiency and robustness. Applications confirm the validity of the proposed approach.展开更多

By reasoning out the conclusion from the fitting results of failure data of a software project, the SRES can recommend users “the most suitable model” as a software reliability measurement model. We believe that the SRES can overcome the inconsistency in applications of software reliability models well. We report investigation results of singularity and parameter estimation methods of experimental models in SRES.展开更多

This work presents a ready-to-use tool, the DMPFIT software package, written in DigitalMicrograph script and C++ language, for nonlinear least-squares fitting of the intensity distribution of atomic columns in atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images with a general two-dimensional (2D) Gaussian model. Applications of the DMPFIT software are demonstrated both in atomic-resolution conventional coherent TEM (CTEM) images recorded by the negative spherical aberration imaging technique and in high angle annular dark field (HAADF) scanning TEM (STEM) images. The implemented peak-finding algorithm based on the periodicity of 2D lattices enables reliable and convenient atomic-scale metrology as well as intuitive presentation of the resolved atomic structures.展开更多

The problem is discretized using integral identities, interpolating quadrature rules, exponential basis functions and remainder terms in integral form. We show that this method is the first order convergent in the discrete maximum norm for original problem (independent of the perturbation parameter ε). To illustrate the theoretical results, we solve test problem and we also give the error distributions in the solution in Table 1 and Figures 1-3.展开更多
