I have experimental pole figures which are obtained by neutron diffraction diffraction. The related pole density function is then known as a 2-dimensional function as P(Chi,Phi) = Pole density at the coordinate on the upper unit sphere.

Similarly, I have a spiral function onto the unit sphere which is obtained via voronoi tesselation so that all points on the sphere are spaced uniformly, hence the only parameter governing the points on the spiral is the internal spiral parameter. Also, it is known as a 1-dimensional function with respect to the internal spiral parameter.

I want to map the pole density function onto the spiral function, in other words, I want to get the recalculated intensity values at each point of the spiral, originating from the pole figure data.

My question is whether it is okay to perform spherical interpolation to obtain the interpolated intensities at each points on the spiral ( on the sphere )?

Can't wait for your replies!
