splin2d
bicubic spline gridded 2d interpolation
Calling Sequence
C = splin2d(x, y, z, [,spline_type])
Arguments
- x,y
strictly increasing row vectors (with at least 2 components) defining the interpolation grid
- z
nx x ny matrix (nx being the length of
x
and ny the length ofy
)- spline_type
(optional) a string selecting the kind of bicubic spline to compute
- C
a big vector with the coefficients of the bicubic patches (see details in Remarks)
Description
This function computes a bicubic spline or sub-spline
s which interpolates the
(xi,yj,zij) points, ie, we have
s(xi,yj)=zij for all i=1,..,nx
and j=1,..,ny. The resulting spline
s is defined by the triplet
(x,y,C)
where C
is the vector (of
length 16(nx-1)(ny-1)) with the coefficients of each of the (nx-1)(ny-1)
bicubic patches : on [x(i) x(i+1)]x[y(j) y(j+1)],
s is defined by :
The evaluation of s at some points must be done
by the interp2d function. Several kind of
splines may be computed by selecting the appropriate
spline_type
parameter. The method used to compute the
bicubic spline (or sub-spline) is the old fashionned one 's, i.e. to
compute on each grid point (xi,yj) an approximation
of the first derivatives ds/dx(xi,yj) and
ds/dy(xi,yj) and of the cross derivative
d2s/dxdy(xi,yj). Those derivatives are computed by
the mean of 1d spline schemes leading to a C2 function
(s is twice continuously differentiable) or by the
mean of a local approximation scheme leading to a C1 function only. This
scheme is selected with the spline_type
parameter (see
splin for details) :
- "not_a_knot"
this is the default case.
- "periodic"
to use if the underlying function is periodic : you must have z(1,j) = z(nx,j) for all j in [1,ny] and z(i,1) = z(i,ny) for i in [1,nx] but this is not verified by the interface.
Remarks
From an accuracy point of view use essentially the not_a_knot type or periodic type if the underlying interpolated function is periodic.
The natural, monotone, fast (or fast_periodic) type may be useful in some cases, for instance to limit oscillations (monotone being the most powerfull for that).
To get the coefficients of the bi-cubic patches in a more friendly
way you can use c = hypermat([4,4,nx-1,ny-1],C)
then
the coefficient (k,l) of the patch
(i,j) (see equation here before) is stored at
c(k,l,i,j)
. Nevertheless the interp2d function wait for the big vector
C
and not for the hypermatrix c
(note that one can easily retrieve C
from
c
with C=c(:)
).
