Features

• Fast spline surface reconstruction from 2.5D/3D point cloud
• Fast interpolation of 1D/2D/3D scattered data (kriging prediction)
• Meshing isosurfaces
• Supports large number (millions) of input points
• Supports inequality constraints
• List of available RBFs

Platforms

Polatory runs on x86-64 processors and continuously tested on the following platforms.

Kriging via RBF Interpolation (Benchmark)

Polatory can perform kriging prediction via RBF interpolation (dual kriging). Although different terminologies are used, both methods produce the same results. Here is the correspondence between them:

A limited number of covariance functions are supported. See the list of available RBFs for details.
