Attempting to interpolate with interp2 and getting errors about the sample point vector?

33 次查看(过去 30 天)
Im trying to interpolate between 4 points in a square (origin to 1 in both x and y direction).
I used [x, y] = meshgrid(0:0.01:1, 0:0.01:1);
x = [0 1 1 0];
y = [0 0 1 1];
and now try to interpolate: interp2(x, y, strains, x, y, 'linear');
my matrix strains has an x and a y component for each of the 4 corners: [x1, y1; x2, y2, x3, y3; x4, y4]
I keep getting errors like: "Interpolation requires at least two sample points for each grid dimension."
what am I missing? It doesnt work if each point only has one strain value either

[x, y] = meshgrid(0:0.01:1, 0:0.01:1);
x = [0 1 1 0];
y = [0 0 1 1];
You are overwriting the grids of data produced by meshgrid() with your explicit assignment of vectors to x and y.
interp2(x, y, strains, x, y, 'linear')
This says that at x(J,K), y(J,K) the data is strains(J,K) and asks for linear interpolation at the exact same set of points, x(J,K) y(J,K) . interp2() does not do any kind of smoothing. If you ask for outputs at exactly the same place as your inputs, you are going to get the exact values copied out of strains (to within round-off error.) There is no point in doing interp2() for this situation.
Now, what would make more sense is if you were to use
[x, y] = meshgrid(0:0.01:1, 0:0.01:1);
X = [0 1 1 0];
Y = [0 0 1 1];
interp2(x, y, strains, X, Y, 'linear')
On the other hand, this is just going to reply with strains(1,1), strains(1,end), strains(end,end), strains(end,1)

yes my bad, I do have them differentiated:
interp2(x, y, strains, xq, yq, 'linear') - does the X go first or the x actually? I had it the other way around as you did now?

% strains is defined on corners (0,0), (1,0), (1,1), (0,1), in that order
strains = [1 5; 2 6; 3 7; 4 8]
% points to interpolate to
[x, y] = meshgrid(0:0.01:1, 0:0.01:1);
% - use interpn for handling a multi-valued function (i.e., strains has
% m = 2 values at each point)
% - reorder rows of strains for interpolation, because interpn will
% interpret the order as (0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (1,1)
% - reshape the reordered strains as 2x2xm, to match the size of X and Y
X = [0 1];
Y = [0 1];
si = interpn(X, Y, reshape(strains([1 2 4 3],:),2,2,[]), x, y, 'linear');
figure
subplot(2,1,1)
pcolor(x,y,si(:,:,1));
colorbar
subplot(2,1,2)
pcolor(x,y,si(:,:,2));
colorbar
If you run that, you'll see that the top pcolor plot has value 1 at corner (0,0), value 2 at corner (1,0), value 3 at corner (1,1) and value 4 at corner (0,1). Similarly the bottom pcolor plot as values 5, 6, 7, and 8 at those respective corners. This shows that the ordering is as specified in the question by x = [0 1 1 0]; y = [0 0 1 1];.

Must have been a typo somewhere. So what do I see exactly on the top and the bottom plot? is one in x and the other in y direction?

Interpolated values of strain. Top plot is interpolated from the first column of strains; bottom is second column.
If using the simple strains values in my answer ([1 5; 2 6; 3 7; 4 8]), it's easy to verify that the corner ordering you specified ((0,0), (1,0), (1,1), (0,1), in that order) is respected.
