%0 Journal Article %T Digital-Discrete Surface Reconstruction: A true universal and nonlinear method %A Li Chen %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %X The most common problem in data reconstruction is to fit a function based on the observations of some sample (guiding) points. This paper provides a methodological point of view of digital-discrete surface reconstruction. We explain our method along with why it is a truly universal and nonlinear method unlike most popular methods, which are linear and restricted. This paper focuses on what the surface reconstruction problem is and why the digital-discrete method is important, necessary, and how it can be accomplished. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.2242v1
