Spatial interpolation (12 pages)
Fill Gaps in Spatial Data with Spatial Interpolation ! How do we create smooth, continuous maps from scattered data points? That’s where Spatial Interpolation comes in, predicting unknown values based on known ones to create a complete picture. Let’s dive into some powerful techniques used in image processing and remote sensing: Trend Surface Analysis - Great for seeing broad trends, this method uses a smooth surface to capture general patterns. Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) - Values closer together are more alike! IDW uses nearby points to estimate unknowns, perfect for clustered data. Global Polynomial - Ideal for large areas, this method fits a polynomial to highlight big-picture patterns without detailed local changes. Kriging - A geostatistical powerhouse, Kriging adapts to both distance and clustering, making it super accurate for complex data. Natural Neighbor - Relies on the closest points around your target, creating a smooth, natural surface for irregular data. Spline Interpolation - Creates smooth curves for a realistic surface, making it ideal for terrain modeling. Each of these techniques has unique strengths, depending on the data and purpose.
