Quantitative and Qualitative Terrain Analysis Based on Digital Terrain Model

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Within the Digital Terrain Models (DTM) processing and consequently qualitative and quantitative analysis, it is possible to gain a credible imagination of real terrain shape. In order to obtain an appropriate DTM, it is necessary to decrease the influence of the gross errors that have negative effects on the final DTM.
