In this paper, we propose an algorithm to resample coarse vector fields in order to obtain vector fields of a higher density. Unlike the typical linear interpolation scheme, our algorithm attempts to identify streamline characteristics in the flow field, and uses local polynomial parameterization of the flow to perform interpolation. Quantitative validation of the streamline oriented algorithm indicate that the Mean Square Error of the flow field obtained is more accurate than those obtained by bilinear interpolation schemes.
