Syntax

Vq = mapinterp(V,R,xq,yq)
Vq = mapinterp(___,method)

Description

Vq = mapinterp(V,R,xq,yq) interpolates the spatially referenced raster V, using bilinear interpolation. The function returns a value in Vq for each of the query points in arrays xq and yq. R is a map raster reference object that specifies the location and extent of data in V.

example

Vq = mapinterp(___,method) specifies alternate interpolation methods.

Open Live Script

Load projected elevation data and a map cells reference object for an area around Mount Washington. Specify the points you want to interpolate. Then, interpolate the values.

[Z,R] = readgeoraster('MtWashington-ft.grd');
x = [ 312829  317447  316083  311150];
y = [4913618 4912253 4904329 4904172];
Vinterpolated = mapinterp(Z,R,x,y)
Vinterpolated = 1x4 int32 row vector
