Irregular digital models (TINs), which are expensive, are used to model engineering
structures, terrain surfaces and hydrography. Interpolation with regular digital models are
more affordable at the expense of accuracy.
There are many methods for interpolating surfaces, depending on the purpose, the
appropriate models are selected. The paper presents bilinear, bicubic interpolation and
interpolation with Bezier polynomials. The aim is to empirically compare the accuracy of
interpolated surfaces with bilinear, bicubic interpolation and Bezier polynomials, by
comparison with TIN and IDW models.
The obtained empirical mean square errors in bilinear and bicubic interpolation
depend on the cell size. The smaller the cell size, the closer the end element is to the
surface;
The results obtained from the Bezier interpolation function have a significant
systematic error, because in the 3rd degree the internal nodes are a restriction of the
surface and it does not pass through them.
Using functions with a lower degree of polynomial as bilinear functions have higher
accuracy. Disadvantage have a smoothness of 0 degrees.
The Bezier interpolation function has no practical application in digital terrain
models due to large systematic errors.
