Question about the z-coordinate and the measured value as it is described in the tool.
"Empirical Bayesian kriging 3D is a geostatistical interpolation method that uses Empirical Bayesian Kriging to interpolate 3D point data. All points must have x-, y-, and z-coordinates and a measured value to be interpolated."
What if my points to be used to create the surface (interpolate) are the same, the measured value (value_field) and the z-coordinate (elevation_field). I am trying to create a groundwater elevation surface and the z value is the water depth from sea level. Do I use the same values for both fields in the EBK tool?
it kind of makes sense if it is a concentration value for instance at a x,y,z location and then it is clear what field values to use.
elevation_field | The in_features field containing the elevation value of each input point. If the elevation values are stored as geometry attributes in Shape.Z, it is recommended that you use that field. If the elevation values are stored in an attribute field, the elevation values must indicate distance from sea level. Positive values indicate distance above sea level, and negative values indicate distance below sea level. | Field |
value_field | The in_features field containing the measured values that will be interpolated. | Field |
Any feed back? thanks. Alex
