TIN• Digital representation of the terrain• Preserves details of a shape on the terrain, more accurate representation of
urban area• Break lines represent significant terrain features like a lake or cliff that cause
a change in slope • Requires a much smaller number of points than a gridded DTM (The digital
terrain model) in order to represent the surface terrain with equal accuracy
• A triangular mesh is drawn on the control and determined data points • A perimeter around the data points is first established, the convex hull• To connect the interior points, Delaunay triangulation is used• A surface is created by integrating all of the triangles over the domain • Additional elevation data such as spot elevations at summits and depressions
and break lines are also collected for the TIN model

Circumcircle of Triangle• Draw the perpendicular bisectors of each edge of the triangle• Circumcircle is centered on their intersection point• Radial lines from center have equal length

Inputs for Creating a TINMass Points Soft Breaklines Hard Breaklines
• Mass Points define points anywhere on landscape•Hard breaklines define locations of abrupt surface change (e.g. streams, ridges, road kerbs, building footprints, dams)• Soft breaklines are used to ensure that known z values along a linear feature are maintained in the tin.

LIDAR• An optical remote sensing technology • Masures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant
target• LIDAR sensor was mounted on-board • During the flight, the LIDAR sensor pulses a narrow, high frequency laser pulse toward
the earth through a port opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage • The LIDAR sensor records the time difference between the emission of the laser beam
and the return of the reflected laser signal to the aircraft • Range to an object is determined by measuring the time delay between transmission of a
pulse and detection of the reflected signal to the aircraft• Points are distributed across the space, push-broom sensor • Amazing degrees of details. Resolution is 1/9 arc second
• 1 arc second DEM = 30 m• 1/3 arc second DEM = 10 m

Aerial photogrammetry• The aerial photos are taken using a stereoscopic camera • Two pictures of a particular area are simultaneously taken, but
from slightly different angles, overlapping photographs • The overlapping area of the two resulting photos is called a stereo
pair • Using a computer, stereoplotter, the stereo pair can be viewed as a
single image with the appearance of depth or relief • Ground control points are established based on ground surveys or
aerial triangulation and are viewed in the stereoplotter in conjunction with the stereo pair
• The image coordinates of any (x,y,z) point in stereoscopic image pair can be determined and randomly selected and digitized

Some advantages of TINS• Fewer points are needed to represent the topography---less
computer disk space• Points can be concentrated in important areas where the
topography is variable and a low density of points can be used in areas where slopes are constant.
• Points of known elevation such as surveyed benchmarks can easily be incorporated
• Areas of constant elevation such as lakes can easily be incorporated
• Lines of slope inflection such as ridgelines and steep canyons streams can be incorporated as breaklines in TINS to force the TIN to reflect these breaks in topography

Why interpolate to raster?
Analogy: Spatially distributed objects are spatially correlated; things that are close
together tend to have similar characteristics
![Page 26: Surface terrain model for city of Austin, TX ArcGIS 3-D Analyst](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815e6e550346895dccef77/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Interpolation using Rasters• Interpolation in Spatial Analyst
– Inverse distance weighting (IDW)– Spline– TOPOGRID, Topo to Raster (creation of
hydrologically correct digital elevation models)– Kriging (utilize the statistical properties of the
measured points & quantify the spatial autocorrelation among measured points )
• Interpolation in Geostatistical Analyst.
![Page 27: Surface terrain model for city of Austin, TX ArcGIS 3-D Analyst](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815e6e550346895dccef77/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Using the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst to create a surface using IDW interpolation
• Each input point has a local influence that diminishes with distance
• It weights the points closer to the processing cell greater than those farther away
• With a fixed radius, the radius of the circle to find input points is the same for each interpolated cell
• By specifying a minimum count, within the fixed radius, at least a minimum number of input points is used in the calculation of each interpolated cell
• A higher power puts more emphasis on the nearest points, creating a surface that has more detail but is less smoot
• A lower power gives more influence to surrounding points that are farther away, creating a smoother surface. Search is more globally

ArcGIS Spatial Analyst to create a surface using Topo to Raster interpolation
• Designed for the creation of hydrologically correct digital elevation models
• Interpolates a hydrologically correct surface from point, line, and polygon
• Based on the ANUDEM program developed by Michael Hutchinson (1988, 1989)
• The ArcGIS 9.x implementation of TopoGrid from ArcInfo Workstation 7.x
• The only ArcGIS interpolator designed to work intelligently with contour inputs
• Iterative finite difference interpolation technique• It is optimized to have the computational efficiency of local
interpolation methods, such as (IDW) without losing the surface continuity of global interpolation methods, such as Kriging and Spline
![Page 31: Surface terrain model for city of Austin, TX ArcGIS 3-D Analyst](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815e6e550346895dccef77/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Using the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst to create a surface using Spline interpolation
• Best for generating gently varying surfaces such as elevation, water table heights, or pollution concentrations
• Fits a minimum-curvature surface through the input points
• Fits a mathematical function to a specified number of nearest input points while passing through the sample points
• The REGULARIZED option usually produces smoother surfaces than those created with the TENSION
• For the REGULARIZED, higher values used for the Weight parameter produce smoother surfaces
• For the TENSION, higher values for the Weight parameter result in somewhat coarser surfaces but with surfaces that closely conform to the control points
• The greater the value of Number of Points, the smoother the surface of the output raster

• Sill The height that the semivariogram reaches when it levels off.
• Range: The distance at which the semivariogram levels off to the sill

What information does it provide?• The γ between samples
separated by no distance is about 1.5E-4
• Points influence each other within 60 km, beyond that they don’t
• An unmeasured location can be predicted based on its neighboring samples closer than 60 km
• The points separated by 60 km are likely to have the same average difference as points separated by 100 km or any distance above 60 km

Cross Validation of the Model• Uses all of the data to estimate the trend and autocorrelation models • It removes each data location, one at a time, and predicts the
associated data value. • For example, the diagram below shows 10 randomly distributed
data points. Cross Validation omits red point and calculates the value of this location using the remaining blue points
• The predicted and actual values at the location of the omitted point are compared
• This procedure is repeated for a second point, and so on • For all points, cross-validation compares the measured and
predicted values
