v.kriging constructs 2D / 3D raster from the values located on discrete points using interpolation method
ordinary kriging. In order to let the user decide on the process and necessary parameters, the module performance is divided into three phases:
- initial phase computes experimental variogram.
- Please set up a name of the report file. The file will be created automatically in working directory to enable import of parameters from current to following phases. If the file has been deleted during the module performance, the user is asked to start interpolation again from the initial phase.
- Warning about particular point and "less than 2 neighbours in its closest surrounding. The perimeter of the surrounding will be increased..." indicates that variogram range should be shortened.
- There will appear some temporary files during variogram computation. They will be deleted automatically in following phase. If missing, the user is asked to repeat initial phase.
- It is not necessary to save experimental variogram plots. They just help to estimate parameters of theoretical variogram that will be computed in following step (output contains experimental and theoretical variogram plotted together).
- in the middle phase, the user estimates theoretical variogram setting up the range (if necessary, the sill and the nugget effect as well) to fit the experimental variogram from previous phase.
- Default sill is calculated from variogram values, more details in (Stopkova, 2014).
- Save horizontal and vertical variogram plots using file=extension.
- Experimental anisotropic / bivariate variogram is plotted as a base for final theoretical variogram parameters estimation in final phase.
- final phase performs interpolation based on parameters of theoretical variogram.
- Save anisotropic or bivariate variogram plot using file=extension.
To get optimal results, it is necessary to test various initial settings, anisotropic ratios and variogram functions. Input (2D or 3D point layer) must contain values to be interpolated in the attribute table.

Commands based on the dataset of
Slovakia 3D precipitation (Mitasova and Hofierka, 2004). For more detailed information check
case studies. Another examples of 3D interpolation are available in (Stopkova, 2014).
v.kriging phase=initial in=precip3d@PERMANENT ic=precip report=precip3d.txt file=png --o
v.kriging in=precip3d@PERMANENT phase=middle hz_fun=exponential vert_fun=gaussian ic=precip file=png hz_range=100000. vert_range=1600 --o -u
v.kriging in=precip3d@PERMANENT phase=middle hz_fun=exponential vert_fun=gaussian ic=precip \
file=png hz_range=100000. vert_range=1600 --o -u
Note: 3D points in this example are concentrated on the Earth's surface. Thus the deeper / higher, the less accurate result of interpolation.

v.kriging in=input_layer phase=final final_function=linear icol=name file=png \

Commands based on 500 random points extracted from input points of Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
elev_lid792_randpts from the North Carolina
dataset (Neteler and Mitasova, 2004).
See the case studies.

- anisotropy in horizontal direction missing
- current version is suitable just for metric coordinate systems
- enable mask usage
- bivariate variogram needs to be rebuilt (theory)
- 2D interpolation from 3D input layer needs to be rebuilt (especially in case that there are too many points located on identical horizontal coordinates with different elevation)
- In case of too much warnings about input points that have "less than 2 neighbours in its closest surrounding. The perimeter of the surrounding will be increased...", please consider shorter variogram range.
- Save just figures with theoretical variogram (using file=extension in the middle and final phase). Experimental variograms are included in the theoretical variogram plot and separate "experimental" plots can be just temporal.
