Constructor Detail

InterpolatingMicrosphere

public InterpolatingMicrosphere(int dimension,
                                int size,
                                double maxDarkFraction,
                                double darkThreshold,
                                double background,
                                UnitSphereRandomVectorGenerator rand)

Create a sphere from randomly sampled vectors.

Parameters:

dimension - Dimension of the data space.

size - Number of surface elements of the sphere.

rand - Unit vector generator for creating the microsphere.

maxDarkFraction - Maximum fraction of the facets that can be dark. If the fraction of "non-illuminated" facets is larger, no estimation of the value will be performed, and the background value will be returned instead.

darkThreshold - Value of the illumination below which a facet is considered dark.

background - Value returned when the maxDarkFraction threshold is exceeded.

Throws:

DimensionMismatchException - if the size of the generated vectors does not match the dimension set in the constructor.

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if dimension <= 0 or size <= 0.

NotPositiveException - if darkThreshold < 0.

OutOfRangeException - if maxDarkFraction does not belong to the interval [0, 1].

Method Detail

copy

public InterpolatingMicrosphere copy()

Perform a copy.

Returns:

a copy of this instance.

getDimension

public int getDimension()

Get the space dimensionality.

Returns:

the number of space dimensions.

getSize

public int getSize()

Get the size of the sphere.

Returns:

the number of surface elements of the microspshere.

value

public double value(double[] point,
                    double[][] samplePoints,
                    double[] sampleValues,
                    double exponent,
                    double noInterpolationTolerance)

Estimate the value at the requested location. This microsphere is placed at the given point, contribution of the given samplePoints to each sphere facet is computed (illumination) and the interpolation is performed (integration of the illumination).

Parameters:

point - Interpolation point.

samplePoints - Sampling data points.

sampleValues - Sampling data values at the corresponding samplePoints.

exponent - Exponent used in the power law that computes the weights (distance dimming factor) of the sample data.

noInterpolationTolerance - When the distance between the point and one of the samplePoints is less than this value, no interpolation will be performed, and the value of the sample will just be returned.

Returns:

the estimated value at the given point.

Throws:

NotPositiveException - if exponent < 0.
