interpolating data from surrounding cells
Show older comments
I have a large array of ocean climate data that contains many NaN values. I want to interpolate the neighbouring cells of the missing NaN cells, and replace that NaN cell with the mean of it's neighbouring cells that contain actual data.
I think it's best to do this an expanding circular fashion eg. if the nearest surrounding cells of the NaN cell only contain more NaN values, I want to take the second nearest circle of cells and so on, until numeric values are found.
So far, I have been following an answer from here:
A = [1 2 NaN; 3 NaN 5; 6 7 NaN]
A =
1 2 NaN
3 NaN 5
6 7 NaN
A = padarray(A,[1 1],NaN) % pad the edges with NaNs
A =
NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
NaN NaN 1 2 NaN NaN NaN
NaN NaN 3 NaN 5 NaN NaN
NaN NaN 6 7 NaN NaN NaN
NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN
s=size(A);
N=length(s);
[c1{1:N}]=ndgrid(1:3);
c2(1:N)={2};
offsets=sub2ind(s,c1{:}) - sub2ind(s,c2{:})
offsets =
-8 -1 6
-7 0 7
-6 1 8
L = find(isnan(A)) % find linear indices of NaNs
% find neighbours of one index, 19
neighbors = A(19+offsets)
neighbors =
NaN 3 NaN
NaN 6 7
NaN NaN NaN
Advice on the following would be much appreciated:
1. How do I get the mean of the surrounding cells? EDIT (answer) below.
2. How can I do this to run over the whole matrix?
