2D Projection |
Microsphere Projection is a method of interpolation
developed in 2006 and published in the form of a master's thesis
in the summer of 2007. This interpolation technique has many
strong advantages over existing methods. The materials listed
on this
page should get you familiar with Microsphere Projection: its implementation,
its advantages, and its limitations.
Microsphere Projection is based on the physical model of
an infinitesimally small sphere located at the point of interpolation.
This tiny sphere is then ‘illuminated’ by the surrounding sample
points. Based on the degree of illumination on various parts of the
sphere by various sample points, a series of weights for all the
sample points are assigned. These weights, when applied, yield the
interpolated value for the location.
