Parametric approximation of data using ODR splines. (English) Zbl 0804.65017

The paper deals with the problem of recovering a geometric curve or surface from given data when no explicit parametrization is presented. According to this problem the authors treat the corresponding problem of parametric orthogonal distance regression which solution leads to so- called orthogonal distance regression splines.
A solution algorithm, theoretical results of existence, uniqueness and characterization of solutions are given. Several numerical examples which provide illustrations of the capabilities and limitations of the method are presented.
