An Efficient and Regularized Modeling Method for Massive Scattered Data Combining Triangulated Irregular Network and Multiquadric Function by Haifei Liu, Yuhao Zhang, Xin Liu, Ijaz Ahmed, Jianxin Liu

“…In this paper, an efficient and regularized modeling method, TIN-MQ, which integrates a triangulated irregular network (TIN) and a multiquadric (MQ) function, is proposed. Initially, a constrained residual MQ function and a damped least squares linear equation are constructed, and the conjugate gradient method is employed to solve this equation to enhance the modeling precision and stability. …”
