Abstract:

An instance of the curve reconstruction problem is a nite sample V of an unknown curve . The task is to connect the points in V in the order in which they lie on . Several new algorithms for the curve reconstruction problem have been proposed in recent years. All algorithms compute a subgraph of the Delaunay triangulation of V. Most algorithms make the decisions of which edges to put into the reconstructions locally and run in time O(n log n) worst case, one algorithm uses a global criterion and computes the traveling salesman tour of V. Our implementation of this algorithm has exponential worst case running time. Our experiments show that the TSPalgorithm is far superior with respect to reconstruction quality. In our experiments its running time was never more than 13 times the running time of the fastest of the other algorithms. We also describe an experimental platform for curve reconstruction algorithms.
