Re: [sdw] Breakout discussion: Video search with location (#1130)

@rjksmith An imortant aspect of interpolation is whether a scheme is reversible. After many years/decades, researchers look at not very nice looking maps of weather data, because they have adopted linear interoploation, which allows you to recalculate the originalvalues from the interpolated values. 
Other schemes, such as fitting various splines, look prettier, but 'lose' the orignal data..
The other extreme end of the interpolation algorithm spectrum is using the full dynamical equations to constrain the possible values. E.g. an interpolated position may not be physically possible because the drone, or wind, could not move or turn fast enough. 
Perhaps you need an attribute to state whether the interpolation scheme is satisfying local, or global, or both, constraints.
HTH, Chris
