SurGe is a computer program which enables to generate surface as an interpolation (approximation) function of two independent variables. The program has the following basic features:
] Implements an interpolation / approximation method called ABOS. ] Basic input is a simple ASCII file containing X, Y and Z coordinates of points irregularly spaced in some region. ] The surface can be defined not only by points, but also by spatial (three-dimensional) polylines. ] So called fault lines can define discontinuity in generated surface. ] Generated surface can pass through points exactly or can be approximative. ] Smoothness of resulting surface can be controlled by one parameter. ] Large data sets (with noise) can be effectively filtered. ] Quality of resulting surface is comparable with surface created by Kriging or Minimum curvature method.
