A novel method for surface estimation and spatial smoothing is presented, that exploits advanced numerical techniques. The proposed model handles accurately data distributed over irregularly shaped domains, characterized by complex boundaries and holes, and also has the capacity to comply with different conditions at the boundaries of the domain. Thanks to the flexible framework considered, the model can be generalized to include a priori information about the spatial structure of the phenomenon, and to deal with data distributed over non-planar domains.
