Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 10:36:23 -0800 Newsgroups: sci.math Dear Ulrich -- Thin-plate splines come up in the field of nonlinear image matching, and there is an interesting relationship between statistical kriging, partial differential operators and their Green's functions, radial basis functions, and splines such as thin-plate, elastic or volumetric splines. For an (admittedly quite simple) introduction, check out: http://www.loni.ucla.edu/~thompson/detailed_warp.html and http://www.loni.ucla.edu/~thompson/detailed_warp2.html Good luck! - Paul ----------------------- Paul Thompson PhD Assistant Professor of Neurology UCLA Lab. of Neuro-Imaging Division of Brain Mapping 73-360 Brain Research Institute Los Angeles CA 90095-176118, USA thompson@loni.ucla.edu http://www.loni.ucla.edu/~thompson/thompson.html http://www.loni.ucla.edu/~thompson/thompson_pubs.html > Ulrich Leodolter wrote: > > > > I'd like to get information/references on "thin plate splines" > > > > Thanks for an help! > > Ulrich > > -- > > o------------------------------------------------o > > Ulrich Leodolter > > University of Vienna, Institute of Psychology > > Email: ulrich@lab1.psy.univie.ac.at > > o------------------------------------------------o
