Numerical method for the interpolation of digitized lines (unrolling method).

The proposed method can be used for reconstructing, from n not necessarily equidistant points of a digitized polydrome line, a set of n1 equidistant points (with n1 > n) interpolating the original points. This method is based on a transformation of the original line into a digitized monodrome function D(1i) (unrolling function), where 1i is the line length between the origin and the ith point (i = 1,..., n1). Advantage of this method consists in reducing the two-dimensional interpolation problem to the one-dimensional field. In scintigraphic imaging, it is possible to achieve interpolation and coding of ROI's (Regions Of Interest) edges. For n samples of a monodrome line this method can also be applied, representing a possible alternative to splines. The numerical procedure is developed to reduce the noise on the points.
