Geostatistical simulations of topography

Published: Aug 20, 2009 by Tom Hengl

Short title: DEMsim

Inputs: control.txt - 1020 precise measurements (photogrametric + spot heights); elevations.txt - 2051 points (contours + spot heights); dem10m_tin.asc - 100x150 pixels 30m DEM.
Outputs: simulated DEMs, simulated error surfaces, error assessment statistics.

Purpose and use:

Script to generate and simulate DEMs and assess the error of the height measurements. Prepared for the needs of a research paper ‘Geostatistical modelling of topography using auxiliary maps’. Please consider testing the script before you use it with large datasets.

Programming environment: R / S language
Status of work: Public Domain
Reference: {Geostatistical modelling of topography using auxiliary maps}
Data set name: Zlatibor
