Mapping package and surface interpolation / approximation
SurGe is a computer program which enables to generate surface as an interpolation (approximation) function of two independent variables. The program has the following basic features:
> Implements an interpolation / approximation method called ABOS.
> Basic input is a simple ASCII file containing X, Y and Z coordinates of points irregularly spaced in some region.
> The surface can be defined not only by points, but also by spatial (three-dimensional) polylines.
> So called fault lines can define discontinuity in generated surface.
> Generated surface can pass through points exactly or can be approximative.
> Smoothness of resulting surface can be controlled by one parameter.
> Large data sets (with noise) can be effectively filtered.
> Quality of resulting surface is comparable with surface created by Kriging or Minimum curvature method.
