1) Hardcover Book Digital Terrain Modeling: Principles and Methodology by CRC. This is an excellent text providing a complete overview of the principles of digital terrain modeling. The reader will obtain a thorough understanding of terrain modeling from data sources and acquisition methods, to surface modeling. It provides insight into the methodology of creating a triangular irregular network, or TIN, model. It also provides insight into contouring, aspect angles, slope, drains (hydrological interpretation), etc. It also provides an excellent discussion of error and accuracy and how each are affected in the different phases of terrain data processing, from source/acquisition to final digital elevation model. Many mathematical methods are presented. I would recommend this text to anyone wishing to obtain an understanding of the processes and methodologies behind digital terrain modeling. The only reason that I did not give this text a 5-star rating is that I would have liked to have seen a more in-depth examination of efficient data processing algorithms with examples. But this is a minor deficiency and I would not let this keep someone from purchasing this text if he/she wishes to obtain a full understanded of digital terrain modeling. The References section is also quite useful pointing to many other interesting sources of information to further your knowledge.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Digital Terrain Modeling: Principles and Methodology by CRC. Digital terrain models have found wide applications in disciplines such as mapping, remote sensing, civil engineering, mining engineering, geology, geomorphology, military engineering, land planning, and communications. Digital Terrain Modeling: Principles and Methodology is the only authored book to provide comprehensive coverage of recent developments in the field. The volume includes an examination of data acquisition and a review of the presentation of DTMs in databases, in contour form, and in various forms of computer graphics. It explores the theories, methods, and algorithms of digital terrain modeling, and focuses on quality control and accuracy. This book discusses extensions of digital terrain models for specific problems and anticipates where this research will lead. Topics include terrain analysis, sampling strategy, acquisition methodology, surface modeling principles, triangulation algorithms, interpolation techniques, on-line and off-line quality control in data acquisition, DTM accuracy assessment and mathematical models for DTM accuracy prediction, multi-scale representation, data management, contouring, visual analysis (or visualization), the derivation of various types of terrain parameters, and future development and applications.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
