INTAGRAF International Alpine Gravity Field Course (27.08.2005 – 09.09.2005, Merano, Italy) Topography and DEM Modelling mountains
2
Topography and DEM TIN: Vector model (Triangulated Irregular Network) INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM History:Official elevation network had to be used for a 3D model, Can integrate different sources of data, Very flexible, can model even vertical or overhanging topography

4
Topography and DEM Raster model (DEM – Digital Elevation Model) INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM Data are sorted in a regular, quadratic grid Ideal for scan-lines of satellites Easy to treat / to implement BUT Contains redundant information in flat areas can be very large!

Different spatial resolution INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM
8
SRTM Most frequently used data set Resolution: 3 (approx. 90 meters) Height levels: 1 m Coordinates (datum) WGS84 Error horizontal (relative): 15 m Error vertical (relative): 6 m available via ftp://e0mss21u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/ or – using an input scheme - http://seamless.usgs.gov/ Data format:.htg or.bil – binary format in files of 1 x 1 degreeftp://e0mss21u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/http://seamless.usgs.gov/ Contains data gaps -offshore -in water covered areas -in areas of rough topography INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM
9
SRTM – The method I Figures from: http://srtm.usgs.gov/ 60 m The fixed baseline interferometry uses the traveltime difference between two radar beams, which are sent to the Earth, reflected at the surface, and then received by two antennas at a distance of 60 m. INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM
10
SRTM – The method II Radar Holograms Radar Image Interferogram + Phase Information + Phase Information Digital Elevation Model INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM
11
SRTM – data gaps Data Gaps (here marked red) exist in areas of rough topography or water covered areas. cause problems with - visualization - calculation of the topographic correction - volume and/or surface calculations May be filled by a) interpolation, or b) other data (gtopo30) INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM
12
SRTM - Vertical Error Shaded reliefFlat map (vertical 6 m relative) causes severe problems in areas with flat topography INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM
13
Terrain Correction - Amounts INTAGRAF 2005 – Sabine Schmidt, Topography and DEM
14
