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?
Karhunen Loeve interpolation?

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. Steve

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.

It is too easy for anyone to post any drivel they please, thus authoritative, accurate material is difficult to discern from the chaff. -- % Randy Yates % "...the answer lies within your soul %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % 'cause no one knows which side %%% 919-577-9882 % the coin will fall." %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % 'Big Wheels', *Out of the Blue*, ELO http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr

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. Julius
