Abstract

Various methods for estimation of unknown functions from the set of noisy measurements are applicable to a wide variety of problems. Among them the non–parametric algorithms based on the Parzen kernel are commonly used. Our method is basically developed for multidimensional case. The two-dimensional version of the method is thoroughly explained and analysed. The proposed algorithm is an effective and efficient solution significantly improving computational speed. Computational complexity and speed of convergence of the algorithm are also studied. Some applications for solving real problems with our algorithms are presented. Our approach is applicable to multidimensional regression function estimation as well as to estimation of derivatives of functions. It is worth noticing that the presented algorithms have already been used successfully in various image processing applications, achieving significant accelerations of calculations.

Supported by the program of the Polish Minister of Science and Higher Education under the name “Regional Initiative of Excellence” in the years 2019–2023 project number 020/RID/2018/19 the amount of financing 12,000,000 PLN. The work of the second Author was performed at Westpomeranian University of Technology, while on sabbatical leave from Concordia University.
