I may not understand the question.
It looks from the *.jpg you point to that you aren't really
trying for a 3D plot, but a 2D heatmap.  Is that correct?
If so then neither pm3d nor isosamples are needed.

Try  
    plot "data" using 2:1:3 with image

There are actually quite a few ways to create a heatmap.
You might have a look at the demos here

    http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_cvs/heatmaps.html

As to smoothing and highlighting, I'd have to know a lot
more about the data structure and what you are looking
for.  Maybe a Fourier transform + high frequency filter?
Or just output the heatmap as a PNG image and read it into
an image processing tool like Photoshop or GIMP.
