GPTool

public class KernelInterpolationWithBarriers
extends AbstractGPTool

A moving window predictor that uses the shortest distance between points so that points on either side of the line barriers are connected. The Kernel Interpolation With Barriers tool is contained in the Geostatistical Analyst Tools tool box.

Usage tips:

• The Absolute feature barrier employs a “non Euclidean” distance approach rather than a “line of sight” approach. The “line of sight” approach requires that a straight line between the measured location and the location where the prediction is required do not intersect the barrier feature. If the distance around the barrier is within the searching neighborhood specifications, then it will be considered in this “non Euclidean” distance approach.
• The processing time is dependent on the complexity of the barrier feature classes geometry. Tools in the can be used to create a new feature class by smoothing or deleting some of these features.
