Description

Multilevel B-spline algorithm for spatial interpolation of scattered data as proposed by Lee, Wolberg and Shin (1997). The algorithm makes use of a coarse-to-fine hierarchy of control lattices to generate a sequence of bicubic B-spline functions, whose sum approaches the desired interpolation function. Performance gains are realized by using B-spline refinement to reduce the sum of these functions into one equivalent B-spline function. The 'Maximum Level' determines the maximum size of the final B-spline matrix and increases exponential with each level. Where level=10 requires about 1mb level=12 needs about 16mb and level=14 about 256mb(!) of additional memory.
