A Reverse Non-Stationary Generalized B-Splines Subdivision Scheme

Abstract

In this paper, two new families of non-stationary subdivision schemes are introduced. The schemes are constructed from uniform generalized B-splines with multiple knots of orders 3 and 4, respectively. Then, we construct a third-order reverse subdivision framework. For that, we derive a generalized multi-resolution mask based on their third-order subdivision filters. For the reverse of the fourth-order scheme, two methods are used; the first one is based on least-squares formulation and the second one is based on solving a linear optimization problem. Numerical examples are given to show the performance of the new schemes in reproducing different shapes of initial control polygons.
