Hill Shading and DEM Resolution: Techniques and Applications, Slides of Water and Wastewater Engineering

Various methods for hill shading digital elevation models (dems) and discusses the importance of resolution and interpolation techniques in enhancing the visualization of terrain features. It covers the basics of hill shading, different illumination angles, and the use of arcmap, image analysis window, and spatial analyst for hillshading. The document also addresses problems with raster hill shading and solutions for effective hydrography identification.

Resolution / Resampling  Changing the resolution • Upscaling – if cells evenly  divisible, use  AGGREGATE • If not evenly divisible or  changing the alignment,  then use RESAMPLE • You can downscale, but  this does not create any  new information AGGREGATE  Increasing the cell  size by aggregating  groups of cells into  larger cells  Based on statistical  summary  sum, min, max, mean,  median RESAMPLE  Interpolation methods  Nearest Neighbor  Fast, maintains original  values, primarily for  categorical data  Bilinear or Cubic  Fits data based on  distance weighted  functions, less  geometric distortion,  primarily for continuous  data LiDAR Derived DEM / Raster Display… Hill Shading… Docsity.com 127 Hillshade DOQ 128 Hillshade DOQ    ‐ study areas 129 Hillshaded DEM ‐Obliquely simulated illumination. 130 DEM display – Elevation Grid  with “Standard” color ramp draped on Hillshade 131 Hillshaded Grid The Basics of Hill Shading… Docsity.com 1.
