I have a data set that is classified into 7 landcover classes. I've been asked to expand this data set to a new boundary.
My question is How can I interpolate my existing data out to meet the new boundary?
In the example below:
This needs to be done for several hundred locations - some of which are slivers where the differences are minimal so I would like to avoid manually making the changes.
I suspect this may not be possible in the current form as I can't figure out how to tell the GIS which boundaries it needs to follow and the image above is a simplified example of the sort of boundaries involved.
Buffering is out as this would result in overlaps. A couple of solutions I've thought about include creating a point grid over the existing data and create thiessen polygons. Alternatively the data could be rasterised and then carry out some form of interpolation for the missing areas.
I'm using ArcGIS with a standard licence but have access to Q or could run a script if that would help.

My question is How can I interpolate my existing data out to meet the new boundary?
In the example below:
- A is the current data set with two landcover types (1 & 2)
- B shows the new boundary that I need to expand and fill
- C shows the desired interpolated outcome where 1 & 2 have been interpolated to the new boundary
This needs to be done for several hundred locations - some of which are slivers where the differences are minimal so I would like to avoid manually making the changes.
