python - Fast interpolation over 3D array

I have a 3D array that I need to interpolate over one axis (the last dimension). Let's say y.shape = (nx, ny, nz), I want to interpolate in nz for every (nx, ny). However, I want to interpolate for a different value in each [i, j].

Here's some code to exemplify. If I wanted to interpolate to a single value, say new_z, I'd use scipy.interpolate.interp1d like this

# y is a 3D ndarray
# x is a 1D ndarray with the abcissa values
# new_z is a number
f = scipy.interpolate.interp1d(x, y, axis=-1, kind='linear')
result = f(new_z)

However, for this problem what I actually want is to interpolate to a different new_z for each y[i, j]. So I do this:

# y is a 3D ndarray
# x is a 1D ndarray with the abcissa values
# new_z is a 2D array
result = numpy.empty(y.shape[:-1])
for i in range(nx):
    for j in range(ny):
        f = scipy.interpolate.interp1d(x, y[i, j], axis=-1, kind='linear')
        result[i, j] = f(new_z[i, j])

Unfortunately, with multiple loops this becomes inefficient and slow. Is there a better way to do this kind of interpolation? Linear interpolation is sufficient. A possibility is to implement this in Cython, but I was trying to avoid that because I want to have the flexibility of changing to cubic interpolation and don't want to do it by hand in Cython.

To speedup high order interpolate, you can call interp1d() only once, and then use the _spline attribute and the low level function _bspleval() in the _fitpack module. Here is the code:

from scipy.interpolate import interp1d
import numpy as np

nx, ny, nz = 30, 40, 50
x = np.arange(0, nz, 1.0)
y = np.random.randn(nx, ny, nz)
new_x = np.random.random_integers(1, (nz-1)*10, size=(nx, ny))/10.0

def original_interpolation(x, y, new_x):
    result = np.empty(y.shape[:-1])
    for i in xrange(nx):
        for j in xrange(ny):
            f = interp1d(x, y[i, j], axis=-1, kind=3)
            result[i, j] = f(new_x[i, j])
    return result

def fast_interpolation(x, y, new_x):
    from scipy.interpolate._fitpack import _bspleval
    f = interp1d(x, y, axis=-1, kind=3)
    xj,cvals,k = f._spline
    result = np.empty_like(new_x)
    for (i, j), value in np.ndenumerate(new_x):
        result[i, j] = _bspleval(value, x, cvals[:, i, j], k, 0)
    return result

r1 = original_interpolation(x, y, new_x)
r2 = fast_interpolation(x, y, new_x)

>>> np.allclose(r1, r2)
True

%timeit original_interpolation(x, y, new_x)
%timeit fast_interpolation(x, y, new_x)
1 loops, best of 3: 3.78 s per loop
100 loops, best of 3: 15.4 ms per loop
