Syntax

Vq = geointerp(V,R,latq,lonq)
Vq = geointerp(___,method)

Description

Vq = geointerp(V,R,latq,lonq) interpolates the geographically referenced raster V, using bilinear interpolation. The function returns a value in Vq for each of the query points in arrays latq and lonq. R is a geographic raster reference object that specifies the location and extent of data in V.

example

Vq = geointerp(___,method) specifies alternate interpolation methods.

Open Live Script

Load elevation raster data and a geographic cells reference object.

load topo60c

Specify the latitude and longitude values you want to interpolate. Then, interpolate the values.

latq = [-40 -20 20 40];
lonq = [42 54 38 62];
Vq = geointerp(topo60c,topo60cR,latq,lonq)
Vq = 1×4
