I think you are confusing a bunch of things here.
Some denoising algorithms can be used for interpolation,
fine, but not all of them can be used that way.

Do you know what a "KLT" is?  It basically finds the
subspace (and a basis that corresponds to it) that
contains most of a signal's energy.  Usually this done
via the second-order, covariance structure of the signal.

This can be used for denoising, if you assume that
the noise is uncorrelated with the signal, and that the
signal is oversampled or overrepresented in some sense.

Note that the above has nothing to do with interpolation.
I suppose that you can interpolate the basis.  I would be
surprised if this is totally new.  Plus, I think you can do
better than this, at least computationally.  Using a KLT
to get to this just seems like a roundabout way of doing it.

I'd say this is a problem with "the web" and not with any particular
search engine. 

It is too easy for anyone to post any drivel they please, thus
authoritative, accurate material is difficult to discern from the
chaff.

actually I tried the over-rated Google, and didn't find what I wanted.
i.e. nothing with all keywords, and zillions if you try one
keyword less.
After my original post, I tried a has-been search engine called
Alta Vista, and it spewed forth half a dozen results that were
almost useful.

There is a somewhat obscure search engine called Google. If you search 
on "Karhunen Loeve" at Google you get 223,000 hits, on the transform, 
and the expansion. You get hits on applications in image and 
multi-channel audio processing, recognition techniques, and masses of 
other interesting stuff. In fact, I found so much interesting stuff in 
the first few screenfuls, I had to tear myself away before I ended up 
spending the whole day reading interesting it.

I had the idea to try interpolation based on KLT.
I tried searching for this with 4 search engines and only found one
paper that mentions this concept in passing, but without a citation.
Any ideas where I might find out more about such interpolation?
