Natural Neighbor

Interpolates a raster surface from points using a natural neighbor technique.



1. Input point features

The input point features containing the z-values to be interpolated into a surface raster.

2. Z value field

The field that holds a height or magnitude value for each point.

This can be a numeric field or the Shape field if the input point features contain z-values.

3. Output raster

The output interpolated surface raster.

It is always a floating-point raster.

4. Output cell size (optional)

The cell size of the output raster that will be created.

This parameter can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If the cell size hasn't been explicitly specified as the parameter value, the environment cell size value will be used if specified; otherwise, additional rules will be used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the usage for more detail.

Spline

Interpolates a raster surface from points using a two-dimensional minimum curvature spline technique.

The resulting smooth surface passes exactly through the input points.



1. Input point features

The input point features containing the z-values to be interpolated into a surface raster.

2. Z value field

The field that holds a height or magnitude value for each point.

This can be a numeric field or the Shape field if the input point features contain z-values.

3. Output raster

The output interpolated surface raster.

It is always a floating-point raster.

4. Output cell size (optional)

The cell size of the output raster that will be created.

This parameter can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If the cell size hasn't been explicitly specified as the parameter value, the environment cell size value will be used if specified; otherwise, additional rules will be used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the usage for more detail.

5. Spline type (optional)

The type of spline to be used.

· REGULARIZED—Yields a smooth surface and smooth first derivatives.

· TENSION—Tunes the stiffness of the interpolant according to the character of the modeled phenomenon.

6. Weight (optional)

Parameter influencing the character of the surface interpolation.

When the REGULARIZED option is used, it defines the weight of the third derivatives of the surface in the curvature minimization expression. If the TENSION option is used, it defines the weight of tension.

The default weight is 0.1.

7. Number of points (optional)

The number of points per region used for local approximation.

The default is 12.

Spline with Barriers

Interpolates a raster surface, using barriers, from points using a minimum curvature spline technique. The barriers are entered as either polygon or polyline features.



1. Input point features

The input point features containing the z-values to be interpolated into a surface raster.

The field that holds a height or magnitude value for each point.

This can be a numeric field or the Shape field if the input point features contain z-values.

Output raster

The output interpolated surface raster.

It is always a floating-point raster.

Input barrier features (optional)

The optional input barrier features to constrain the interpolation.

Output cell size (optional)

The cell size of the output raster that will be created.

This parameter can be defined by a numeric value or obtained from an existing raster dataset. If the cell size hasn't been explicitly specified as the parameter value, the environment cell size value will be used if specified; otherwise, additional rules will be used to calculate it from the other inputs. See the usage for more detail.

Smoothing factor (optional)

The parameter that influences the smoothing of the output surface.

No smoothing is applied when the value is zero and the maximum amount of smoothing is applied when the factor equals 1.

The default is 0.0.

2. Z value field

The field that holds a height or magnitude value for each point.

This can be a numeric field or the Shape field if the input point features contain z-values.

The output interpolated surface raster.

It is always a floating-point raster.
