Abstract

Different interpolation algorithms are compared for accuracy in correcting crude heights obtained from parallax-bar measurements. The conventional correction equation is programmed and weighted against polynomial and Shepard's interpolations. The results show that Shepard's interpolation method is superior to both the conventional and the polynomial solutions. These results may serve a useful purpose in application areas in which parallax-bar heighting is still being used.
