Polar coordinate for complicated curves

247 Views Asked by At

In general polar representation of a closed curve is done by coordinate $(\theta,r(\theta))$, $\theta\in (0,360)$.

When working with real data, I got a closed curves whose graph looks like the below enter image description here

I want to approximate this type of closed curve by some polar equation. But I doubt if it possible or not.

Note that, here we will get points like $(\theta,r^1(\theta)),(\theta,r^2(\theta)),(\theta,r^3(\theta)),\ldots$, that is for same $\theta$ we may get different $r(\theta)$.

Could anyone please suggest how to approximate this type curves using polar coordinate system.

Thanks in advance.
