A Piecewise Linear Fitting Technique for Multivalued Two-dimensional Paths

This paper presents a curve-fitting technique for multivalued two-dimensional piecewise-linear paths. The proposed method is based on a decomposed formulation of the canonical piecewise linear model description of Chua and Kang. The path is treated as a parametric system of two position equations (x(k), y(k)), where k is an artificial parameter to map each variable (x and y) into an independent k-domain.
