How to create a 2D lookUp table in matlab

118 views (last 30 days)
I want to create a 2D look Up table from 3 arrays
x1= 0:0.1:1 %axis values --> length is 11
x2= 25:2:35 %axis values --> length is 6
y= 0.01:0.001:0.06 % output data --> length is 51, rest of the 15 elements are zeros
I want to create an LUT which has 6 rows and 11 columns. Whenever I need to retrieve y, if exact query points of x1 and x2 is not present, then the function should give an interpolated value. I want to generate a .m script for this without using Simulink.
Anyone please help me with this.
Thanks

length(y) is 51. If you were given the J'th x1 value exactly and the K'th x2 value exactly (so no interpolation needed), which of the 51 y values should be output?

Sorry, rest of the values is assigned as 0.I have edited my original post.
Thanks

You could use interp2 or interpn:
>> x1 = 0:0.1:1;
>> x2 = 25:2:35;
>> y = 0.01:0.001:0.06;
>> vm = zeros(numel(x1),numel(x2));
>> vm(1:numel(y)) = y;
>> interpn(x1,x2,vm,0,25)
ans = 0.010000
Note that this allocates the values of y row-wise into mat. If you want them to be allocated column-wise then transpose mat before and after the allocation.

You need a scattered interpolant for that case. You should expect that off-diagonal might look fairly different than you imagine, as interpolation will come to depend upon which triangle happens to be closest in 3 space.

Use 2-D looup table from simulink library.
see the attached image.

Hi SatishKumar, Is there any matlab function for this? I need to implement this same functionality in .m script without using Simulink.
Thanks
