Constructor Detail

MicrosphereInterpolator

public MicrosphereInterpolator()

Create a microsphere interpolator with default settings.

Calling this constructor is equivalent to call MicrosphereInterpolator(MicrosphereInterpolator.DEFAULT_MICROSPHERE_ELEMENTS, MicrosphereInterpolator.DEFAULT_BRIGHTNESS_EXPONENT).

MicrosphereInterpolator

public MicrosphereInterpolator(int microsphereElements,
                               int brightnessExponent)

Create a microsphere interpolator.

Parameters:

microsphereElements - number of surface elements of the microsphere.

brightnessExponent - exponent used in the power law that computes the weights of the sample data.

Throws:

NotPositiveException - if microsphereElements <= 0 or brightnessExponent < 0.

Method Detail

interpolate

public MultivariateRealFunction interpolate(double[][] xval,
                                            double[] yval)
                                     throws MathException,
                                            IllegalArgumentException

Computes an interpolating function for the data set.

Specified by:

interpolate in interface MultivariateRealInterpolator

Parameters:

xval - the arguments for the interpolation points. xval[i][0] is the first component of interpolation point i, xval[i][1] is the second component, and so on until xval[i][d-1], the last component of that interpolation point (where d is thus the dimension of the space).

yval - the values for the interpolation points

Returns:

a function which interpolates the data set

Throws:

MathException - if arguments violate assumptions made by the interpolation algorithm or some dimension mismatch occurs

IllegalArgumentException - if there are no data (xval null or zero length)

setBrightnessExponent

public void setBrightnessExponent(int exponent)

Set the brightness exponent.

Parameters:

exponent - Exponent for computing the distance dimming factor.

Throws:

NotPositiveException - if exponent < 0.

setMicropshereElements

public void setMicropshereElements(int elements)

Set the number of microsphere elements.

Parameters:

elements - Number of surface elements of the microsphere.

Throws:

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if elements <= 0.
