Class BicubicInterpolation

java.lang.Object

smile.interpolation.BicubicInterpolation

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Interpolation2D

public class BicubicInterpolation
extends java.lang.Object
implements Interpolation2D

Bicubic interpolation in a two-dimensional regular grid. Bicubic spline interpolation guarantees the continuity of the first derivatives, as well as the continuity of a cross-derivative.

Note that CubicSplineInterpolation2D guarantees the continuity of the first and second function derivatives but bicubic spline guarantees continuity of only gradient and cross-derivative. Second derivatives could be discontinuous.

In image processing, bicubic interpolation is often chosen over bilinear interpolation or nearest neighbor in image resampling, when speed is not an issue. Images resampled with bicubic interpolation are smoother and have fewer interpolation artifacts.
