“…Quasi-interpolation is a well known technique [18,19] that does not require to solve any linear system, unlike the traditional spline approaches, and therefore it allows to define more efficient algorithms. Whilst there are works on the use of quasi-interpolant methods for function approximation [18,20,21,22,23,24], to the best of our knowledge, less efforts have been devoted to define quasi-interpolant schemes for point clouds [25,26,27,28].…”
