Heightmap : Yes
Description
Algorithm creates UTM ASCII heightmap from geodetic .ASC digital elevation models.
- Orange - regular geodetic heightmap
- Blue - new terrain UTM heightmap
Task parameters
- Easting - UTM easting coordinate
- Northing - UTM northing coordinate
- Zone - UTM zone
- Hemisphere - UTM hemisphere (Northern, Southern)
- Rows & columns count - Rows and columns count
- Cell size - Cell size in meters.
Usage
Conversion tool, creating UTM heightmap from Geodetic heightmap.
Algorithm
- Load geodetic ASCII DEM.
- Prepare heightmap with size and position in UTM.
- Foreach cell in heightmap:
- Get its UTM coordinate
- Convert UTM coordinate to geodetic coordinate.
- Get height from geodetic ASCII heightmap with bicubic spline function.
