I am using a 50×50 pixel sliding window in some Image Analysis Software which moves left to right every pixel so that it covers a whole binary image which is about 2000×2000 pixels. In the window, the ratio value of black to white pixels is calculated. I have then been uploading the values into matlab as xyz coordinates with x and y being the centre of each window square and z as the ratio value and interpolating between them to create a meshgrid colormap to help visualise the image.
This is outside the realms of my expertise but I was wondering is it okay to interpolate between these values in matlab as they are not really discrete points but overlapping areas. The colormaps come out looking really good and seem to be a very good representation of the original binary image but it's more the theory that I am having trouble with and I am not having much luck searching.
Is it okay to interpolate overlapping sliding window values in this way using matlab's standard linear interpolation mesh and does anyone have any links to any helpful literature or resources regarding this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
