Abstract
Stationary points of multivariable function which represents some surface have an important role in many application such as computer vision, chemical physics, etc. Nevertheless, the dataset describing the surface for which a sampling function is not known is often given. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an approach for finding the stationary points without knowledge of the sampling function.
In this paper, an algorithm for determining a set of stationary points of given sampled surface and detecting the bindings between these stationary points (such as stationary points lie on line segment, circle, etc.) is presented. Our approach is based on the piecewise RBF interpolation of the given dataset.
