Abstract

Interpolation and approximation of a large amount of unstructured data is a central issue in many applications. The purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm for this problem, consisting of two parts: in a first step we reduce data by creating a representation set based upon a generalized Voronoi diagram. Then we apply a scattered data algorithm on the reduced set. As a practical application of this method we visualize a SO 2 distribution.
