Qimera Interpolate Dynamic Surface Dialog

How to Start

Select Interpolate Dynamic Surface.... option of the Dynamic Surface menu of the Main Menu toolbar. 

What it Does

Allows for small holes in a dynamic surface to be filled using the average value from one or more of the surrounding cells. 

The Interpolate Dynamic Surface Dialog allows for only the Dynamic Surface to be interpolated, this does not interpolate the Soundings.

Since grid interpolations exist only on the Surface and not within the associated QPD files the grid interpolations will NOT carry over from a Cleaning Project to the Master Project.

It is recommended that interpolation of a surface is only done after all other edits are already completed to the surface. 

General Description

Iteration

The number of times the algorithm is run over the entire grid. Each iteration takes into account the previous iterations cellular results. The maximum number of iterations is 50. 

Minimum Neighbors

The 'Minimum Neighbours' ComboBox is used to identify what cells will be interpolated. The valid neighbours are considered the 8 cells surrounding the current empty cell containing a depth value. If the current cell does not contain the required number of neighbours it will remain empty. 

Interpolation Type

The 'Type' combo box is used to choose the interpolation method. 

Average

The resultant cell depth will be an average based on the surrounding cells. A new cell will be populated only if it meets the requirements configured in the 'Minimum Neighbours' and 'Iterations' settings.

Fixed Value

The resultant cell depth will be the fixed value entered in the associated spin box. A new cell will be populated only if it meets the requirements configured in the 'Minimum Neighbours' and 'Iterations' settings.
