Abstract

Its common to be needed to reconstruct functions which samples falls on a nonequally spaced grid. This is due to the fact that some of the most used algorithms require samples in a regular (uniform) Cartesian grid. Therefore, it is necessary to make an uniform resampling, i.e., to interpolate the nonuniform samples in a set of equally spaced points. In this work, it is first shown that the resampling problem can be formulated as a problem of solving a system of linear equations. A solution for this system can be found using the pseudoinverse matrix, a process that is impractical for a large number of variables. From particular characteristics of the problem, it is possible to develop a better algorithm, which only uses a limited number of samples to calculate each uniform sample, transforming the original problem into a sequence of linear systems with less variables. The final result can be viewed as both optimal and computationally efficient. Applications are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the method (AU)
