Curves defined by a class of discrete operators: Approximation result and applications

Abstract

In approximation theory, classical discrete operators, like generalized sampling, Szász‐Mirak'jan, Baskakov, and Bernstein operators, have been extensively studied for scalar functions. In this paper, we look at the approximation of curves by a class of discrete operators, and we exhibit graphical examples concerning several cases. The topic has useful implications about the computer graphics and the image processing: We discuss applications on the approximation and the reconstruction of curves in images.
