Continuous surfaces • Contain values • everywhere, eg. • Elevation • Population density • Temperature • Precipitation • Etc… 3 Teacher Training Workshop, University of West Hungary, 12-19, 2012
Polygon (TIN) • Points (DEM) • Lines (countours) Types of surfaces 4 Teacher Training Workshop, University of West Hungary, 12-19, 2012
Generating surfaces Surface interpolation functions create a continuous (or prediction) surface from sampled point values. IDW - inversedistanceweightedinterpolation KrigingInterpolates a gridfromaset of pointsusingkriging. NaturalNeighborInterpolates a surfacefrompointsusinganaturalneighbortechnique. SplinePerforms a two-dimensional minimum curvaturesplineinterpolationon a pointdatasetresultinginasmoothsurfacethatpassesexactlythroughthe input points. Topo to Raster Interpolates a hydrologically correct surface from point, line, and polygon data. 5 Teacher Training Workshop, University of West Hungary, 12-19, 2012

Examples of viewshed analysis Where we can use the viewshed? • Fire tower • Panorama • Military border tower • Visibility or view from high building 12 Teacher Training Workshop, University of West Hungary, 12-19, 2012
Summary • Continuous surfaces - Elevation, Populationdensity, Temperature , Precipitation, Etc… • Types of continuous surfaces – TIN, DEM, Contours • Surface generation – interpolation methods • Hypsometric Maps - represent the differing elevations of the earth's terrain • 4. Surface Analysis in ArcGIS – Hillshading, Slope, Aspect, Viewshed, etc. 13 Teacher Training Workshop, University of West Hungary, 12-19, 2012
Assignment Group of 5 student should collect min 20 GPS points around the Alarcha area with elevation data. Use the elevation data and GPS points to create the Digital Elevation Model for 1X1 km. Use 3 different interpolation methods of ArcGIS and describe which was perform better Assignment should be submitted before next lecture to my eamil.
