Detailed Description

interpolate points and associated scalars onto volume using the method of Shepard

vtkShepardMethod is a filter used to interpolate point scalar values using Shepard's method. The method works by resampling the scalars associated with points defined on an arbitrary dataset onto a volume (i.e., structured points) dataset. The influence functions are described as "inverse distance weighted". Once the interpolation is performed across the volume, the usual volume visualization techniques (e.g., iso-contouring or volume rendering) can be used.

Note that this implementation also provides the ability to specify the power parameter p. Given the generalized Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) function with distance between points measured as d(x,xi), p is defined as:

u(x) = Sum(wi(x) * ui) / Sum(wi(x)) if d(x,xi) != 0
u(x) = ui                           if d(x,xi) == 0

where wi(x) = 1 / (d(x,xi)^p

Typically p=2, so the weights wi(x) are the inverse of the distance squared. However, power parameters > 2 can be used which assign higher weights for data closer to the interpolated point; or <2 which assigns greater weight to points further away. (Note that if p!=2, performance may be significantly impacted as the algorithm is tuned for p=2.)

Warning

Strictly speaking, this is a modified Shepard's methodsince only points within the MaxiumDistance are used for interpolation. By setting the maximum distance to include the entire bounding box and therefore all points, the class executes much slower but incorporates all points into the interpolation process (i.e., a pure Shepard method).

The input to this filter is any dataset type. This filter can be used to resample the points of any type of dataset onto the output volume; i.e., the input data need not be unstructured with explicit point representations.

The bounds of the data (i.e., the sample space) is automatically computed if not set by the user.

If you use a maximum distance less than 1.0 (i.e., using a modified Shephard's method), some output points may never receive a contribution. The final value of these points can be specified with the "NullValue" instance variable.

This class has been threaded with vtkSMPTools. Using TBB or other non-sequential type (set in the CMake variable VTK_SMP_IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE) may improve performance significantly.

SetMaximumDistance()

virtual void vtkShepardMethod::SetMaximumDistance ( double  )

Specify the maximum influence distance of each input point.

This distance is a fraction of the length of the diagonal of the sample space. Thus, values of 1.0 will cause each input point to influence all points in the volume dataset. Values less than 1.0 can improve performance significantly. By default the maximum distance is 0.25.
