INTERPOLATE/II outima inima refima [s] [degree]
	interpolate Image to Image
\us\pu
Purpose: 
           Spline interpolation of 1D data; image to image transformation.
\up\sy
Syntax:   
           INTERPOLATE/II outima inima refima [s] [degree]
\ys\pa
           outima = name of output image
\ap\pa
           inima = name of input image
\ap\pa
           refima = reference image
\ap\pa
           s = smoothing parameter (default 1.)
\ap\pa
           degree = degree of spline     (default 3, cubic splines)

Note: 
           The parameter s controls the degree of smoothing. This parameter
           has to be chosen carefully: too small s-values will result in
           an overfitting, too large s-values will produce an underfitting
           of the data. For s very large it returns the least-squares
           polynomial fit.
\\ 
           The number of spline knots and their positions  are determined
           automatically, taking into account the specific behaviour of
           the function underlying the data.
