Efficient Sampling On Healpix Grid
2018 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ACOUSTICS, SPEECH AND SIGNAL PROCESSING (ICASSP)(2018)
摘要
We propose an iso-latitude sampling scheme for the representation of band-limited signals on the sphere. The proposed scheme is designed as a variant of the widely used Hierarchical Equal Area iso-Latitude Pixelization (HEALPix) scheme on the sphere. We use HEALPix grid of resolution N-side to represent a signal of bandlimit (spherical harmonic degree) L. To reduce the number of samples, the proposed algorithm takes only L iso-latitude rings out of 4N(side) - 1 rings of the HEALPix. This selection is carried out by ensuring that the spherical harmonic transform (SHT) of the signal is computed accurately from the samples. The number of samples required by the proposed sampling scheme is smaller than that required by HEALPix by at least a factor of 3/2. For the proposed sampling scheme, we also formulate the spherical harmonic transform and conduct numerical experiments to evaluate the number of samples required by the proposed sampling scheme and the accuracy of the associated SHT.
