INTERPOLATION METHOD FOR SMOOTH CONVERGENCE CORRECTION

摘要

A method for producing a plurality of successive output data values defining an output curve that approximates an input curve defined by a plurality of input sample values, the output data values having a higher sampling frequency than the input sample values, the method comprising the steps of: pre-emphasizing the plurality of input sample values; defining successive and overlapping intervals including at least three of the pre-emphasized input sample values; interpolating a plurality of the output data values in an interpolation interval by calculating a moving average of a linear interpolation curve based on the at least three pre-emphasized input sample values, each of the output data values being influenced by the at least three pre-emphasized input sample values; and, emphasizing differently the influence of the at least three pre-emphasized input sample values for determining different ones of the output data values in the interpolation interval, whereby the pre-emphasizing step brings the output curve controllably close to each of the input sample values and each incremental slope of the output curve varies smoothly between adjacent output data values.
