Data gridding and hypersurface fitting for 3-D data
Syntax
w = griddata3(x,y,z,v,xi,yi,zi) w = griddata3(...,'method')
Description
w = griddata3(x, y, z, v, xi, yi, zi)
fits a hypersurface of the form w = f(x,y,z) to the data in the (usually) nonuniformly spaced vectors (x
, y
, z
, v
). griddata3
interpolates this hypersurface at the points specified by (xi
,yi
,zi
) to produce w
. w
is the same size as xi
, yi
, and zi
.
(xi
,yi
,zi
) is usually a uniform grid (as produced by meshgrid
) and is where griddata3
gets its name.
w = griddata3(...,'method')
defines the type of surface that is fit to the data, where 'method'
is either:
'linear' |
Tesselation-based linear interpolation (default) |
'nearest' |
Nearest neighbor interpolation |
Note
All the methods are based on a Delaunay triangulation of the data that uses qhull [1]. For information about qhull , see http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/qhull/. For copyright information, see http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/download/COPYING.html.
