Inverse distance weight function

Inverse distance weight function to interpolate values based on the sampled points

You are now following this Submission

function Fint = idw(X0,F0,Xint,p,rad,L)
Inverse distance weight function to interpolate values based on
sampled points.

Fint = idw(X0,F0,Xint) uses input coordinates X0 and input values F0
where X0 is a N by M input matrix of N samples and M number of variables.
F0 is vector of N responses. Xint is a Q by M matrix of coordinates to be
interpolated. Fint is the vector of Q interpolated values.

Fint = idw(X0,F0,Xint,p,rad) uses the power p (default p = 2) and radius
rad (default rad = inf).

Fint = idw(X0,F0,Xint,p,rad,L) uses L-distance. By defaults L=2
(Euclidean norm).

Example:

X1 = [800;2250;3250;2250;900;500];
X2 = [3700;4200;5000;5700;5100;4900];
F = [13.84;12.15;12.87;12.68;14.41;14.59];
Q = 100;
[X1int,X2int] = meshgrid(0:4000/(Q-1):4000, 3200:(5700-3200)/(Q-1):5700);
Fint = idw([X1,X2],F,[X1int(:),X2int(:)]);
contourf(X1int, X2int, reshape(Fint,Q,Q), 20)
