Abstract Within the Digital Terrain Models (DTM) processing and consequently qualitative and quantitative analysis, it is possible to gain a credible imagination of real terrain shape. In order to obtain an appropriate DTM, it is necessary to decrease the influence of the gross errors that have negative effects on the final DTM. These gross errors may degrade and in the worst case also ruin the calculations and the final outputs. The gross errors have a greater impact and are harder to define in complicated terrain and pointing out these types of errors depends on the editor’s experiences and terrain knowledge.

Covering an area of approximately 97 km2 and with a maximum depth of 58 m, Lake Trichonis is the largest and one of the deepest natural lakes in Greece. As such, it constitutes an important ecosystem and freshwater reserve at the regional scale, whose qualitative and quantitative properties ought to be monitored. Depth is a crucial parameter, as it is involved in both qualitative and quantitative monitoring aspects. Thus, the availability of a bathymetric model and a reliable DTM (Digital Terrain Model) of such an inland water body is imperative for almost any systematic observation scenario or ad hoc measurement endeavor. In this context, the purpose of this study is to produce a DTM from the only official cartographic source of relevant information available (dating back approximately 70 years) and evaluate its performance against new, independent, high-accuracy hydroacoustic recordings. The validation procedure involves the use of echosoundings coupled with GPS, and is followed by the production of a bathymetric model for the assessment of the discrepancies between the DTM and the measurements, along with the relevant morphometric analysis. Both the production and validation of the DTM are conducted in a GIS environment. The results indicate substantial discrepancies between the old DTM and contemporary acoustic data. A significant overall deviation of 3.39 ± 5.26 m in absolute bottom elevation differences and 0.00 ± 7.26 m in relative difference residuals (0.00 ± 2.11 m after 2nd polynomial model corrector surface fit) of the 2019 bathymetric dataset with respect to the ~1950 lake DTM and overall morphometry appear to be associated with a combination of tectonics, subsidence and karstic phenomena in the area. These observations could prove useful for the tectonics, geodynamics and seismicity with respect to the broader Corinth Rift region, as well as for environmental management and technical interventions in and around the lake. This dictates the necessity for new, extensive bathymetric measurements in order to produce an updated DTM of Lake Trichonis, reflecting current conditions and tailored to contemporary accuracy standards and state-of-the-art research in various disciplines in and around the lake.

The problem of improving the accuracy of digital terrain models created for monitoring and diagnostics of the railway track and the surrounding area is considered. A technical solution to this problem is presented, which includes a method for joint aerial photography and laser scanning, as well as a method for digital processing of the obtained data. The relevance of using this solution is due to the existence of zones of weak reception of signals from the global navigation satellite system, since in these zones the accuracy of constructing digital terrain models using currently used diagnostic spatial scanning systems is reduced. The technical solution is based on the method of digital processing of aerial photographs of the railway track. In this case, as elements of external orientation, the threads of the rail track located at a normalized distance from each other are used. The use of this method made it possible to increase the accuracy of determining the flight path of an aircraft over railway tracks and, as a result, the accuracy of calculating the coordinates of points on the earth's surface. As a result, a digital terrain model was created that is suitable for diagnostics and monitoring the condition of the railway trackbed. During simulation modeling, it was found that the application of the proposed method allowed to reduce to 50 % the confidence interval of the distribution of the error in determining the coordinates of points on the terrain and increase the accuracy of forming a digital terrain model. This promising technical solution for improving the accuracy of digital terrain models for railway track diagnostics is implemented using unmanned aerial vehicles that are part of the mobile diagnostic complex. The advantages of the proposed solution include high efficiency and availability of application.

Watershed characterization is the first step in the sustainable management of    watershed resources. Morphometric analysis of a watershed using Digital Elevation Model (DEM) provides a quantitative description of the drainage system which is an important aspect   of the characterization of watersheds. The study was conducted in Nilona micro-watershed covering an area of 1297.35 ha in Darwha tehsil of Yavatmal district, Maharashtra. The terrain attributes and drainage configuration were derived from the Cartosat-1 data, 10m resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) using ArcGIS. Surface soil samples of 118 locations were collected from grid points located at regular interval of 325 m. The digital terrain analysis  showed that slope varies from 0 to 45.9 percent, with a mean value of 4.5%. Most of the area of Nilona micro-watershed was classified as gentle sloping. Profile curvature   varies from -5.1 to 4.6 m m-1, respectively indicating the coexistence of erosive as well  as depositional landforms. Overall, the study documents the utility of   site-specific modeling and geo-statistical interpolation based predictive mapping for watershed planning.

The Relationship Between Geodiversity and Habitat Richness in Šumava National Park and Křivoklátsko PLA (Czech Republic): A Quantitative Analysis Approach This paper focuses on the development of a quantitative method for evaluating the relationship between abiotic heterogeneity and habitat richness at the landscape level. The study took place in the Křivoklátsko protected landscape area and Šumava national park (Czech Republic). Our initial hypothesis was that habitat richness should be high in areas with high abiotic heterogeneity, and vice versa. GIS vector layers of habitat were used for the formulation of habitat richness. A geological layer, a digital terrain model and hydrographic layers were used to determine abiotic heterogeneity. The study areas were overlain by a grid square and habitat richness and abiotic heterogeneity were assessed in each study cell. The data obtained were used in a statistical model (multiple spatial linear regression, with maximum credibility). The results of the statistical model indicated a significant influence of abiotic heterogeneity on habitat richness.

The development of science always depends on technological progress. Cartography is rapidly changing and developing with the introduction of new computer technologies, such as GIS and remote sensing of the Earth. Recently, there have been qualitatively new types of cartographic products, in particular 3D terrain models, which in cartography are becoming a universal, optimal and operational method for displaying terrain. The article discusses a method for creating a three-dimensional digital terrain model in the form of an irregular triangulation network based on SRTM data and GIS technology on the example of the Khenti aimag of Eastern Mongolia.

<p>3D terrain models from high-resolution orbital imagery, such as that from HiRISE and CTX, provide an opportunity to probe the geologic history of Gale Crater, Mars, and contextualise observations from the Mars Science Laboratory. 3D HiRISE datasets of a channel in Gale Crater are visualised in the Planetary Robotics 3D Viewer (PRo3D) [1]. Digitised measurements of layers exposed in the channel are extracted using this software and analysed to investigate the depositional history of the central mound.</p> <p>A 1-m HiRISE digital terrain model (DTM) was retrieved from University of Arizona Chicago [2] and co-registered to an 18-m CTX DTM, itself processed with CASP-GO [3] in [4], using the NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline [5]. This 3D dataset, in addition to a 25-cm HiRISE orthorectified image (ORI), was converted to the Ordered Point Cloud (OPC) format for visualisation in PRo3D.</p> <p>The 3D scene was then analysed in the PRo3D suite. This investigation includes identifying sets or “packages” of beds, their relationships (e.g. unconformities, repeated sequences, erosion), quantifying their geometries (package thickness, dip/strike), observation of how these relationships change vertically within a package and along the channel, and the generation of summary logs of these sequences. These data are compared (a) across the channel, (b) with a CRISM covering part of the channel, and (c) with depositional models of the central mound of Aeolis Mons, and implications are discussed.</p> <p>[1] Barnes, R., et al., ESS 5, 2018.

Up-to-date mapping technologies are in the middle of transition from analytical to digital. The usage of new methods and technologies implies the desire to increase mapping capability. Despite that, analytical and digital methods may be used simultaneously, thus getting more efficient results. The research objective is to present some aspects of functionality of both digital and analytical photogrammetric mapping approaches in generating 3D geodata. The experimental results show which of the two methods could lead to a more flexible mapping production in consideration of the following criteria: accuracy, flexibility, time and cost. The main result of investigations shows, that the orthophoto generation is successfully using fully automatic systems. The digital terrain models created by two technologies are almost the same due to time-consuming. Therefore more time is required for the Digital Photogrammetric System when the terrain is rougher. Despite the fact that digital photogrammetric mapping technology drastically develops, there is no doubt that analytical photogrammetry is still a significant production system for large‐scale mapping. The results demonstrate that there is not too much difference in accuracy between the analytical and the digital 14 μm pixel size images processing. The interpretation capability of experimental test area in the Digital Photogrammetric System was more complicated as it was by the analytical plotter. Two systems integrations have been foreseen. Digital terrain model obtained by the analytical plotter can be transferred to digital mapping system for orthophoto generation.
