Abstract

Interpolation methods for developing digital terrain model using geoinformation system data are considered. For this purpose, the best-known methods are analyzed: inverse distance weighting (IDW), kriging, ANUDEM, spline interpolation, the natural neighbor method, and the method based on the construction of a triangulation irregular network (TIN) model). The modeling accuracy is estimated for a terrain located between the Ui, Tara, and Irtysh Rivers in the Omsk region of West Siberia (Russia). Analysis of the results of estimating the accuracy of a digital terrain model developed using the ArcGIS 10 geoinformation system shows that the best results were obtained using spline methods and inverse distance weighting.
