This document discusses digital terrain modeling and describes techniques for constructing TIN models from DEM data, representing surfaces, and extracting topographic attributes. It explains that TIN models can significantly reduce the number of elevation points needed from DEMs with little quality loss. Various analytical techniques are presented for answering spatial questions including interpolation, creating new DEM datasets, and extracting attributes like elevation, slope, aspect, and curvature.

Digital Terrain Modeling Figure 9.13 Mesh Simplification ► The process by which a TIN model is constructed from DEM data.
► Ithas been shown that the number of
elevation points in DEMs obtained from the USGS may be reduced significantly (to less than 5%) in TINs with only a very minor decrease in quality. Surface Representation and Analysis ► DigitalTerrain Modeling may be used to answer a variety of spatial questions by employing one or more of the following classes of analytical techniques:
