This document discusses interpolation methods used to create surfaces from sample point data in ArcGIS Spatial Analyst. It describes different surface representations like grids, contours, and TINs. It explains that interpolation predicts cell values where no sample points exist, using spatial autocorrelation. Common interpolation methods like inverse distance weighting and Kriging are covered, and how interpolation results can be controlled by limiting input points or adding barriers.
