Adaptive Metrics for Adaptive Samples

ALGORITHMS, 13(8).

By: N. Cavanna* & D. Sheehy n

author keywords: surface reconstruction; homology inference; adaptive sampling; topological data analysis
TL;DR: The local-feature size definition of adaptive sampling used in surface reconstruction is generalized to relate it to an alternative metric on Euclidean space, making it simpler both to give adaptive sampling versions of homological inference results and to prove topological guarantees using the critical points theory of distance functions.
