Scatteredinterpolant (linear) from symmetric data does not produce symmetric isolines

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I utilised the scatteredinterpolant function to generate an interpolation from which I derived isolines. My data are situated on a non-equispaced grid of points that are symmetric with respect to the midline. In fact, I only have data on one side, so I placed data on the other side by copying the values from the original data set, exploiting the symmetry.
When I generate iso-lines using the NATURAL method, the isolines have a symmetric trend. If I use the simplest method, i.e. LINEAR, the iso-lines are not symmetric, which does not make sense.
Do you know what may cause this issue and how to sort it out?

scatteredinterpolant all methods is based on triangulation of the data points. Even the data points are symmetric, the triangulation migh not.

x_PP_sym=x_PP;
y_PP_sym=-y_PP;
PP_i_sym=PP_i;
% Adding other points symmetrically with respect to y=0
x_PP_sym=x_PP;
y_PP_sym=-y_PP;
PP_i_sym=PP_i;
You create twice the variable and do not use it anywhere later. Clearly Your code is NOT correct.

This demo shows how to enforce the interpolation output to be symmetric, as it is an a priori expectation characteristic, whatever the input might be and or breaking symmetric due to scattering interpolation algorithm.
[x_PP,y_PP,PP_i] = peaks(20);
x_PP=x_PP(:);
y_PP=y_PP(:);
P_v=PP_i(:);
