Interpolate Matrix(x,y,z) - Return interpolated matrix for given inputs

Library

GNC/Controls

Description

The Interpolate Matrix(x,y,z) block interpolates a three-dimensional array of matrices.

This three-dimensional case assumes the matrix is defined as a function of three independent variables:

x = [x₁ x₂ x₃ ... x_i x_i+1 ... x_n]

y = [y₁ y₂ y₃ ... y_j y_j+1 ... y_m]

z = [z₁ z₂ z₃ ... z_k z_k+1 ... z_p]

For given values of x, y, and z, eight matrices are interpolated. Then for

x_i < x < x_i+1

y_j < y < y_j+1

z_k < z < z_k+1

the output matrix is given by

where the three interpolation fractions are denoted by

In the three-dimensional case, the interpolation is carried out first on x, then y, and finally z.

The matrix to be interpolated should be five dimensional, the first two dimensions corresponding to the matrix at each value of x, y, and z. For example, if you have eight matrices A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H defined at the following values of x, y, and z, then the corresponding input matrix is given by

(x = 0.0,y = 1.0,z = 0.1)	matrix(:,:,1,1,1) = A;
(x = 0.0,y = 1.0,z = 0.5)	matrix(:,:,1,1,2) = B;
(x = 0.0,y = 3.0,z = 0.1)	matrix(:,:,1,2,1) = C;
(x = 0.0,y = 3.0,z = 0.5)	matrix(:,:,1,2,2) = D;
(x = 1.0,y = 1.0,z = 0.1)	matrix(:,:,2,1,1) = E;
(x = 1.0,y = 1.0,z = 0.5)	matrix(:,:,2,1,2) = F;
(x = 1.0,y = 3.0,z = 0.1)	matrix(:,:,2,2,1) = G;
(x = 1.0,y = 3.0,z = 0.5)	matrix(:,:,2,2,2) = H;
