Abstract

This paper presents a new approach for the Radial Basis Function (RBF) interpolation of a vector field. Standard approaches for interpolation randomly select points for interpolation. Our approach uses the knowledge of vector field topology and selects points for interpolation according to critical points location. We presents the results of interpolation errors on a vector field generated from analytical function.
