Question

I'm trying to find a method of linear interpolation in 2D over a regular grid using python, but each proposed type in scipy seems to have it's disadvantages.

My aim is basically:

Have smooth linearly interpolated data over a regular grid, or as close as possible
The original data can be at arbitrary locations
(optional) Linearly extrapolate to the edges

But all the functions seem to have problems with this:

Functions like griddata, interp2d, LinearNDInterpolator appear to create triangles and interpolate within them, creating a bunch of hard lines/creases that I can't have.
Rbf seems at first to do exactly what I want, but when presented with planes that are flat, it generates an interpolation based on some kind of sphere, creating a curved surface.

If Rbf would simply interpolate a flat plane as a flat plane using the linear setting, as would be expected, it'd be perfect.

Are there any ideas on how to achieve this, or if there's another function that does what I'm after? I've attached a basic example below.

import numpy as np
from scipy import interpolate
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#create some objects to store data
x=np.empty((2,2))
y=np.empty((2,2))
f_shape=(100,100,100)

#generate coordinates
x[0, :] =  0
x[-1, :] = f_shape[0]
y[:, 0] = 0
y[:, -1] = f_shape[1]

#--------constant height----------
z=np.full((2,2),50)

#create interpolation function and interpolate across grid
interp=interpolate.Rbf(x,y,z,function='linear')
grid=np.mgrid[0:f_shape[0],0:f_shape[1]]
result=interp(grid[0,:,:],grid[1,:,:])

plt.imshow(result) #incorrect curved surface from constant height!!!

#--------random heights-----------
z=np.random.uniform(25,75,(2,2))

#create interpolation function and interpolate across grid
interp=interpolate.Rbf(x,y,z,function='linear')
grid=np.mgrid[0:f_shape[0],0:f_shape[1]]
result=interp(grid[0,:,:],grid[1,:,:])

plt.imshow(result) #Apparently nice smooth linear-ish interpolation

Answer 1

Scipy的griddata效果很好：

import numpy as np
from scipy import interpolate as intp
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline

grid_size = G = 100
height = H = 50

points = np.array([
    (0, 0),
    (G-1, 0),
    (0, G-1),
    (G-1, G-1)
], dtype=np.float32)

gy, gx = np.mgrid[:G, :G]
result = intp.griddata(points, np.full(points.shape[0], H), (gy, gx))

情节：

plt.imshow(result, interpolation='none')
plt.colorbar()

只是为了确定：

>>> np.allclose(result, 50)
True

Answer 2

我设法编写了一个适合我目的的功能。它通过沿网格线插值，从坐标网格中插入（填充）平面，然后在x和y方向上插值平面，并取两者的平均值。

应该可以通过将坐标重新整形为一维矢量，一次插值平面，然后重新变换为2D来加快速度。但是，对于合理的平面尺寸，此代码肯定足够快。

如果坐标也在飞机外，似乎工作正常。如果网格近似规则，外推也可以。无论如何都会外推，但随着网格不规则性的增加，你会开始看到边缘有一些尖锐的折痕。

这是代码。 docstring中提供了一个示例。

def interlin2d(x,y,z,fsize):
    """
    Linear 2D interpolation of a plane from arbitrary gridded points.

    :param x: 2D array of x coordinates
    :param y: 2D array of y coordinates
    :param z: 2D array of z coordinates
    :param fsize: Tuple of x and y dimensions of plane to be interpolated.
    :return: 2D array with interpolated plane.

    This function works by interpolating lines along the grid point in both dimensions,
    then interpolating the plane area in both the x and y directions, and taking the 
    average of the two. Result looks like a series of approximately curvilinear quadrilaterals.

    Note, the structure of the x,y,z coordinate arrays are such that the index of the coordinates
    indicates the relative physical position of the point with respect to the plane to be interpoalted.

    Plane is allowed to be a subset of the range of grid coordinates provided. 
    Extrapolation is accounted for, however sharp creases will start to appear
    in the extrapolated region as the grid of coordinates becomes increasingly irregular.

    Scipy's interpolation function is used for the grid lines as it allows for proper linear extrapolation. 
    However Numpy's interpolation function is used for the plane itself as it is robust against gridlines
    that overlap (divide by zero distance).


    Example:
    #set up number of grid lines and size of field to interpolate
    nlines=[3,3]
    fsize=(100,100,100)

    #initialize the coordinate arrays
    x=np.empty((nlines[0],nlines[1]))
    y=np.empty((nlines[0],nlines[1]))
    z=np.random.uniform(0.25*fsize[2],0.75*fsize[2],(nlines[0],nlines[1]))

    #set random ordered locations for the interior points
    spacings=(fsize[0]/(nlines[0]-2),fsize[1]/(nlines[1]-2))
    for k in range(0, nlines[0]):
        for l in range(0, nlines[1]):
            x[k, l] = round(random.uniform(0, 1) * (spacings[0] - 1) + spacings[0] * (k - 1) + 1)
            y[k, l] = round(random.uniform(0, 1) * (spacings[1] - 1) + spacings[1] * (l - 1) + 1)

    #fix the edge points to the edge
    x[0, :] = 0
    x[-1, :] = fsize[1]-1
    y[:, 0] = 0
    y[:, -1] = fsize[0]-1
