contents For a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ and a metric space $S$ with a small Gromov$\unicode{x2013}$Hausdorff distance to it, Latschev's theorem guarantees the existence of a sufficiently small scale $β>0$ at which the Vietoris$\unicode{x2013}$Rips complex of $S$ is homotopy equivalent to $\mathcal{M}$. Despite being regarded as a stepping stone to the topological reconstruction of Riemannian manifolds from a noisy data, the result is only a qualitative guarantee. Until now, it had been elusive how to quantitatively choose such a proximity scale $β$ in order to provide sampling conditions for $S$ to be homotopy equivalent to $\mathcal{M}$. In this paper, we prove a stronger and pragmatic version of Latschev's theorem, facilitating a simple description of $β$ using the sectional curvatures and convexity radius of $\mathcal{M}$ as the sampling parameters. Our study also delves into the topological recovery of a closed Euclidean submanifold from the Vietoris$\unicode{x2013}$Rips complexes of a Hausdorff close Euclidean subset. As already known for Čech complexes, we show that Vietoris$\unicode{x2013}$Rips complexes also provide topologically faithful reconstruction guarantees for submanifolds.
