'v4' MATLAB® 4 griddata method 由MATLAB提供的插值方法
matlab的官方帮助里并没有说明v4所采用的方法,google后得到如下的网友解释:
'v4' is apparently a Greens' function approach. It uses a full matrix composed of ALL of the interpoint distances. This will be SLOW for many points, and extremely memory intensive.
The 'v4' method is much like a radial basis function interpolant. These methods are distance based methods, so you will have a single radially symmetric basis function around EVERY data point. The 'v4' method will form a linear combination of these basis functions, so it must formulate and solve a linear system of equations, of size the number of data points.
