Popis: We introduce a continuous domain framework for the recovery of a planar curve from a few samples. We model the curve as the zero level set of a trigonometric polynomial. We show that the exponential feature maps of the points on the curve lie on a low-dimensional subspace. We show that the null-space vector of the feature matrix can be used to uniquely identify the curve, given a sufficient number of samples. The worst-case theoretical guarantees show that the number of samples required for unique recovery depends on the bandwidth of the underlying trigonometric polynomial, which is a measure of the complexity of the curve. We introduce an iterative algorithm that relies on the low-rank property of the feature maps to recover the curves when the samples are noisy or when the true bandwidth of the curve is unknown. We also demonstrate the preliminary utility of the proposed curve representation in the context of image segmentation.
