Hi,

Krigging functions are part of the SAGA Algorithms.  If you do not see SAGA in the processing toolbox, then you probably need to activate the provider.  Activate the toolbox, go to the processing options (the wrench), Processing, Providers.  You may want to install the the Processing Saga Next Gen Provider plugin instead.

I don't know how they go from the tin to the raster.  I imagine they use the nearest neighbor.

Thanks for the information above, it was very helpful and i now have a better understanding of the interpolation process. As a follow up question, i could not find the krigging function in the processing toolbox, only TIN and IDW.  where do i look for the krigging interpolation Also, i understand the construction of delawney triangles and veronoi diagrams now and how the veronoi cells are constructed.  What i am not clear on is, once you have completed the interpolation and you have your delawney triangle boundaries, how does this get translated to at regular grid. the triangular mesh is irregular, how does this get referred to a rectangular grid?  if you have a brief description, that is adequate.

    Hi,

    Open the Processing toolbox panel, search for 'Krigging'.  You
    will see multiple SAGA modules. If you search for "interpolation",
    you will find IDW AND TIN under Q modules and other methods under
    the SAGA module. If you search for "grid" you will find multiple
    algorithms under GDAL/Raster analysis.  See
    https://gdal.org/tutorials/gdal_grid_tut.html#gdal-grid-tut and
    https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_grid.html for other methods. This
    should cover it.

    The idea is generally to interpolate a raster surface from points
    or lines containing a z field or a z value (in 3D files).  After,
    you use Raster/Extract/Contour on this new raster layer.  You can
    also install the contour plugin.  That uses a point file only but
    I don't know the what algorithm it uses.

    You may find more algorithm using CrimeStat or GeoDa softwares.

    Hope this helps.

    hello group:
    i want to demonstrate some of the pitfalls of computer contouring
    methods with limited datasets.  i wanted to use a small dataset
    to demonstrate several contouring algorithms.  In particular,
    linear interpolation, inverse weighted, nearest neighbour and
    kriging.  Are any of these built into QGIS?  i do not see any
    options to control the contouring in the plugins for any options
    other than the default.
    thank you if you can provide any help.
