This repo contains code for implementing Barnes objective analysis, which is used for interpolating scattered data points onto a fixed grid. The code is translated from the Barnes interpolation (Barnes objective analysis) toolbox, originally written in Matlab by Lena Bartell.
Examples using the functions are in the examples directory
The functions themselves are in the barnesn directory
