A demonstration of the improved IDW. The dots are the sample data points, and the x is the point location to be interpolated. R is a user-defined radius parameter that indicates the farthest distance to be included from the points x. In this case, only a total of six sample points will have an influence on the interpolation process. However, no empirical approach has been developed to obtain the optimal value for the parameter R.
