Résumé

This is the first truly comprehensive guide to digital terrain modeling that provides a thorough, mathematically rigorous treatment of DIM generation, manipulation, and analysis techniques and applications. Supported with over 100 illustrations, this single, highly practical volume:

Describes photogrammetric data capture, direct georeferencing systems, LIDAR, IFSAR, and other data acquisition techniques

Explains how to determine the most appropriate DTM generation technique for any given project

Offers a detailed treatment of DTM data structures, including storage and compression techniques for grid data, as well as data filtering and smoothing procedures

Covers various data interpolation methods, including KRIGING analysis techniques

Develops the mathematical theory behind DTM construction to the extent that it has general applications to all surfaces

Places emphasis on quality control to help professionals gain essential insight into the kind of problems and errors to expect in elevation

Features a full range of highly illustrative examples and covers real-world applications
