The Assessment of using an Intelligent Algorithm for the Interpolation of Elevation in the DTM Generation Verwendung von Methoden der künstlichen Intelligenz zur Ableitung von Höhenmodellen

Abstract

digital elevation model (DEM) (abDul-raHMaN & PilouK 2008). In other words, DEM continuously displays elevation changes of the Earth surface, which is directly proportional to the plane position (x,y) (abDul-raHMaN & PilouK 2008, cHaPlot et al. 2006, MillEr & laflaMME 1958). Initially, 3D models were created physically from plastic, sand, clay, etc. (li et al. 2004). Today, however, computers are used to display the Earth’s continuous surfaces in a digital form (HEESoM & MaHDJobi 2001). One of the most important issues in the field of digital modelling is the generation of a DEM with high quality and precision under minimum costs. To estimate a continuous surface, due to the limited number of samples and the necessity of reproducing altitude points,
