    can represent any square integrable E(q) in 3D space. More samples =⇒ less MSE. No modeling error if all samples are known. Representability. P(R) is globally affected by E(q) in R3. Fitting the given {E(qi)} is not enough for a good EAP estimation. Prior 1 (P1): E(0) = 1 because R3 P(R)dR = 1 Prior 2 (P2): E(q) tends to 0 as q increases Prior 3 (P3): E(q) radially decays like (but NOT) a Gaussian Orthogonality. Numerical stability Coefficients under orthonormal basis are independent with the basis order chosen in Least Square approximation if all samples are given.

  72. Interpolation: swelling effect, reasonable mean value interpolation Mean value interpolation

    (tensors, ODFs, EAPs) swelling effect: Tensor interpolation with Euclidean metric. Larger determinant. |Σ| > max{Σi } =⇒ N(0|Σ) < min{N(0|Σi)} Definition: Reasonable Mean Value Interpolation For a PDF valued function p(s, x), a mean value interpolation based on Ns samples {ps(i) (x)}Ns i=1 at position {s(i)}Ns i=1 is reasonable if the interpolated PDF ps(x) at position s satisfies ps(x) ≥ min{ps(i) (x)}N i=1 , ∀x ∈ χ Theorem (Reasonable Interpolations) Riemannian and Euclidean mean value interpolations on general EAPs/ODFs are both reasonable. Riemannian mean value interpolation on tensors is reasonable, and more precisely max{Ns(i) (R|Σi)}Ns i=1 ≥ Ns(R|Σ) ≥ min{Ns(i) (R|Σi)}Ns i=1 , ∀R ∈ R3 Jian Cheng (ccm, athena) Estimation and Processing of EAPs/ODFs May 30, 2012 66 / 81
