A cubic spline curve is a piecewise cubic curve with continuous second derivative. In image processing, we usually do not have most of these values readily available, and must frequently approximate them. Adaptive interpolation if we have a choice, it may be better to use nonequal spacing of the knots. In this blog, i show you how to conduct spline interpolation.
