This is not a Julia-specific problem: you need to decide what algorithm
to use, which depends on what you know about your surface.

Eg if it is a function f(x,y), and reasonably smooth and differentiable
over some domain, you can use a family of basis functions to interpolate
-- see ApproxFun.jl. If it is some more general surface, you would need
other algorithms or transformations; there are no general ones (this is
the nature of the problem) and you will need to make some assumptions.

Best,
