Interpolation Tools

Lesson 5 overview  Concepts  Sampling methods  Creating continuous surfaces  Interpolation  Density surfaces in GIS  Interpolators  IDW, Spline,Trend, Kriging,Natural neighbors  TopoToRaster  Assessing accuracy  Exercise 5

Creating surfaces  Interpolate from sample points  Example: Terrain, pH value, water quality  Convert from another format  Example: USGS Digital Elevation Model (DEM)  Four ways to represent surfaces:

Functional surface  Considered to be continuous  For an x,y location, only one z-value  NOT a true 3D model: 2 ½ dimensional  Can be used to represent:  Terrestrial surfaces  Statistical surfaces  Mathematical surfaces X,Y Z1Z1 Z2Z2 Z3Z3

What is Interpolation?  Procedure to predict value at unsampled locations within sampled region  Based on the principle of spatial autocorrelation or spatial dependence  Spatial autocorrelation — measures degree of relationship/dependence between near and distant objects  Implements Tobler’s First law of Geography: “everything is related to everything else, but close things are closely related”

Elements of interpolation  The known points (samples)  Sample factors - size, Iimits, location,outliers  The unknown points (interpolated values)  Interpolation models: Deterministic - create surfaces from measured points, based on either the extent of similarity (IDW) or degree of smoothing (Trend).Deterministic - create surfaces from measured points, based on either the extent of similarity (IDW) or degree of smoothing (Trend). Geostatistical - based on statistics (Kriging) with advanced prediction modeling, includes measure of certainty or accuracy of predictions.Geostatistical - based on statistics (Kriging) with advanced prediction modeling, includes measure of certainty or accuracy of predictions.  Different interpolation methods will (almost always) produce different results.

Sampling a surface  Perfect surface requires infinite number of measurements  Therefore samples need to be significant and random, if possible  Error increases away from sample points

Linear interpolation  Interpolation of cell values  A best estimate between samples  May consider:  Distance  Weight  Used for:  Predicting  Forecasting  Describing  Understanding  Calculating  Estimating  Analyzing  Explaining Mile Known Values

Controlling sample points for interpolation  IDW, Spline & Kriging support control of sample numbers  Sample methods:  Nearest neighbors — you choose how many  Search radius — variable or max distance  Returns NoData if insufficient samples

Barriers to interpolation  Barriers represented by line feature classes  Examples: Faults, cliffs, levees, depth to ground water  Restricts samples to same side of line as cell  IDW, KRIGING ()support barriers

Interpolating unknown values  Input  Point dataset  x,y coordinates in a text file  Output  Floating-point raster  Tools

Interpolation types  Deterministic or Geostatistical  Deterministic:  Surface created from samples based on extent of similarity or degree of smoothing. E.g., IDW, Spline,TrendE.g., IDW, Spline,Trend  Geostatistical  Spatial variation modeled by random process with spatial autocorrelation  Creates error surface — indication of prediction validity  E.g., Kriging

IDW  Deterministic Interpolation technique  Influence of known values diminishes with distance  Surface will not pass through samples (averaging)  Power value and barrier can be used  Sample subset defined by  Nearest neighbor  Fixed radius

lDW parameters  Best for dense evenly spaced samples  No estimates above max or below mm sample value  Can adjust relative influence or power of samples Z-Value Distance Z-Value Distance Power 1 Power 2

Natural Neighbor Interpolation  Uses Thiessen polygon network of scatter points.  Interpolation by weighted average of surrounding or neighboring data points  Area-based weights  Cell value is “natural neighbor” of interpolation subset  Resulting surface analogous to a taut rubber sheet stretched to meet all the data.  Works well with clustered scatter points  Efficiently handles large numbers of input points

Spline  The surface passes exactly through the sample points  Fits a minimum-curvature surface through the input points  Like a rubber sheet that is bent around the samples  Best for smoothly varying surfaces (e.g., temperature)  Can predict ridges and valleys Z-Value Distance

Choosing a spline type  Regularized  A looser fit, but may have overshoots and undershoots  Generally makes a smoother surface  Higher values of {weight} smooth more  Tension  Forces the curve  Generally makes a coarser surface  Higher values of {weight} coarsen more than lower values Tension Regularized

Trend  Inexact interpolator:  Surface usually not through sample points  Detects trends in the sample data  Similar to natural phenomena, which usually vary smoothly.  Statistical approach:  Allows statistical significance of the surface and uncertainty of the predicted values to be calculated  Fits one polynomial equation to entire surface Order 1: No curve (flat tilted surface) 2: One curve 3: Two curves 4: Three curves, etc. First order trend surface

Kriging  A powerful statistical technique  Predicted values derived from measure of relationship in samples  Employs sophisticated weighted average technique  Cell value can exceed sample value range  Surface does not pass through samples  Various types of kriging  Uses a search radius  Fixed  Variable

Kriging methods  Several methods — spatial analyst supports:  Ordinary — assumes overall area mean; no trend.  Universal — assumes unknown trend in area mean.  Geostatistical analyst extension — supports more Z-Value Distance

Topo to Raster  Interpolates elevation imposing constraints to ensure:  Connected drainage structure.  Correct representation of ridges and streams from input data.  Deploys iterative finite difference interpolation technique.  Optimized to computational efficiency of ‘local’ interpolation without losing the surface continuity of global interpolation  Designed to work intelligently with contour inputs.

Visual comparisons of Interpolators IDW Topo to Raster Spline Natural Neighbor Kriging

Feature density estimation  Count occurrences of a phenomena within an area and distribute it through the area  Similar to focal functions  Performs statistics on features  Population field influences density  Use points or lines as input  Examples  Population per square kilometer  Road density per square mile  The number of customers per square mile

Testing your surface  Different interpolators will produce different results with same input data.  No single method is more accurate than others for all situations.  Accuracy — may be determined by comparison with a second set of “withheld” samples for accuracy checking.  Remove random test sample points  Create surface  Interpolate  Did interpolator predict missing samples?  Repeat  Try with each interpolator  Select the method based on knowledge of the the study area, phenomena of interest, and available resources.
