  • Lossy compression of data points using point-wise error constraints
    Patent number: 8811758
    Abstract: A method for compressing a cloud of points with imposed error constraints at each point is disclosed. Surfaces are constructed that approach each point to within the constraint specified at that point, and from the plurality of surfaces that satisfy the constraints at all points, a surface is chosen which minimizes the amount of memory required to store the surface on a digital computer.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 19, 2014
    Assignee: Numerica Corporation
    Inventors: Randy C. Paffenroth, Ryan Nong, Woody D. Leed, Scott M. Lundberg
