All Known Implementing Classes:

InverseDistanceWeights

public interface PointInterpolationWeights

Computes normalized weights for point-based interpolation given a reference point and a set of support points.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	compute(VectorNd weights, Vector3d p, java.util.Collection<Vector3d> support) Given a reference point p, computes and returns a set of weights w_i that can be used for interpolation of values associated with a set of support points p_i.

Method Detail

compute

boolean compute(VectorNd weights,
                Vector3d p,
                java.util.Collection<Vector3d> support)

Given a reference point p, computes and returns a set of weights w_i that can be used for interpolation of values associated with a set of support points p_i. The weights are normalized so that they sum to unity. The weights should also be computed such that

 p = sum w_i p_i
 

If the support points do not have sufficient coverage, the last condition may not be possible. In that case, the method should return false.
