An Example of Two-Dimensional Interpolation Using a Linear Combination of Bicubic B-Splines

摘要

The paper describes how a linear combination of bicubic B-splines can be effectively used in a two-dimensional interpolation. It is assumed that values of a function to be interpolated are evaluated at the uniformly located nodes of a corresponding rectangular grid. All formulae of importance have been derived step by step and are presented in a form convenient for computer implementations. To ensure clarity of considerations a short description of one-dimensional B-spline is also given in Appendix 1. The usefulness of the presented interpolation algorithm has been confirmed by the real engineering example of applications.
