is a simple IDW weighting function, as defined by Shepard, [3] x denotes an interpolated (arbitrary) point, x i is an interpolating (known) point, is a given distance (metric operator) from the known point x i to the unknown point x, N is the total number of known points used in interpolation and is a positive real number, called the power ...
Natural neighbor interpolation with Sibson weights. The area of the green circles are the interpolating weights, w i.The purple-shaded region is the new Voronoi cell, after inserting the point to be interpolated (black dot).
Inverse distance weighting; ABOS - approximation based on smoothing; Kriging; Gradient-enhanced kriging (GEK) Thin plate spline; Polyharmonic spline (the thin-plate-spline is a special case of a polyharmonic spline) Radial basis function (Polyharmonic splines are a special case of radial basis functions with low degree polynomial terms) Least ...
Inverse distance weighting; Radial basis function (RBF) — a function of the form ƒ(x) = φ(|x−x 0 |) Polyharmonic spline — a commonly used radial basis function; Thin plate spline — a specific polyharmonic spline: r 2 log r; Hierarchical RBF; Subdivision surface — constructed by recursively subdividing a piecewise linear interpolant
Given the coordinates of the two points (Φ 1, L 1) and (Φ 2, L 2), the inverse problem finds the azimuths α 1, α 2 and the ellipsoidal distance s. Calculate U 1, U 2 and L, and set initial value of λ = L. Then iteratively evaluate the following equations until λ converges:
Radial basis function (RBF) interpolation is an advanced method in approximation theory for constructing high-order accurate interpolants of unstructured data, possibly in high-dimensional spaces. The interpolant takes the form of a weighted sum of radial basis functions .
In a multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram, the distance between a point and a site is divided by the (positive) weight of the site. [1] In the plane under the ordinary Euclidean distance , the multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram is also called circular Dirichlet tessellation [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and its edges are circular arcs and straight ...
Waldo Tobler in front of the Newberry Library. Chicago, November 2007. The First Law of Geography, according to Waldo Tobler, is "everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things." [1] This first law is the foundation of the fundamental concepts of spatial dependence and spatial autocorrelation and is utilized specifically for the inverse distance ...
