  3. Make such insertions in (a book or text)

  4. Interject (a remark) in a conversation
    • - “I dare say,” interpolated her employer
  5. Insert (an intermediate value or term) into a series by estimating or calculating it from surrounding known values

  2. insert words into texts, often falsifying it thereby
  3. (interpolation) a message (spoken or written) that is introduced or inserted; "with the help of his friend's interpolations his story was eventually told"; "with many insertions in the margins"
  4. (interpolation) interjection: the action of interjecting or interposing an action or remark that interrupts
  5. In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.
  6. (Interpolation (computer programming)) In the context of computer animation, interpolation refers to the use of (usually) piecewise polynomial interpolation to draw images semi-automatically.
  7. (Interpolation (manuscripts)) In relation to literature and especially ancient manuscripts, an interpolation is an entry or passage in a text that was not written by the original author. ...
  8. (Interpolation (music)) In music and musical composition, especially 20th century and later, interpolation is an abrupt change of elements, with (almost immediate) continuation of the first idea.Wittlich, Gary E. (ed.) (1975). Aspects of Twentieth-century Music, p.48 n.12 and p.49. ...
  9. To estimate the value of a function between two points between which it is tabulated; During the course of processing some data, and in response to a directive in that data, to fetch data from a different source and process it in-line along with the original data; To introduce material to ...
  10. (interpolation) An abrupt change in elements, with continuation of the first idea; the process of estimating the value of a function at a point from its values at nearby points; The process of including and processing externally-fetched data in a document or program; see interpolate
  11. (Interpolated) Most software programs can enlarge image resolution beyond the actual resolution by adding extra pixels. This normally decreases the quality of the image but can be enhanced by a program (or plug in for Photoshop) such as LizardTech's "Genuine Fractals".
  12. (interpolated (cinematic media)) Interpolated artworks “all share an interest in conjoining conditions that are carefully separated in traditional cinema. ...
  13. (Interpolation) nbsp&nbsp The process of increasing the resolution of a photo.
  14. (Interpolation) Process of inserting, estimating, or finding a value intermediate to the values of two or more known points in space. Estimation of an elevation value at an unsampled point based on the known elevation values of surrounding points. ...
  15. (Interpolation) In the image manipulation context, this is the increase of image resolution by the addition of new pixels throughout the image, the colors of which are based on neighboring pixels.
  16. (Interpolation) Increasing the number of pixels in an image or filling in missing colour information by sampling neighbouring pixels. This cannot add information or detail to the image.
  17. (Interpolation) The process of adding or subtracting pixels to an image (usually in an imaging program) to increase or reduce its size at a desired resolution. Also known as resampling or upsampling and downsampling. Interpolation changes the file size of the image. See also: "Resizing."
  18. (Interpolation) An algorithm used to create pixels based on existing pixel data when you scale an image.
  19. (Interpolation) The estimation of a value, in color of pixels, between two known values. Interpolation is used when changing the resolution of an image.
  20. (Interpolation) The act of changing resolution of an image in a way which requires the software to estimate the value of pixels in the resulting image. In some cases, this results in inaccuracies in the resulting image.
  21. (interpolation) inferring information within the range of the actual data based on trends
  22. (Interpolation) A "connect-the-dots" processing technique to estimate what a fast waveform looks like based on only a few sampled points.
  23. (Interpolation) A function found on low cost scanners where optical resolution (expressed as PPI) is enhanced through software enhancement. In this way, a 300 PPI scanner can create 600 PPI files. Interpolation does not give as good a result as a scanner with higher optical resolution. ...
  24. (Interpolation) A mathematical procedure for increasing resolution by up-sampling, or decreasing resolution by down-sampling. Up-sampling creates new data from existing data and increases file sizes. ...
  25. (Interpolation) A method of approximating a price or yield that is unknown by using numbers that are known.
