Comparación de DTM usando Global Mapper 17.0.1

Comparar, primero visualmente y después cuantitativamente dos DTM. Por un lado elegimos una fuente muy usual, SRTM con un DTM derivado de Fotogrametría Stereo.

DTM validation using Google Earth (and RMSE extraction)

Hi guys, Surfing the internet is great when you need to figure out something. I needed to validate some DTM from unknown sources against an also unknown source (but at least a kind of reliable one, Google Earth). All we need is Google Earth TCX converter ARcGIS Excel This is the procedure i have followed:Continue reading “DTM validation using Google Earth (and RMSE extraction)”

DTM from SRTM? Let’s compare sources using RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and a gaussian kernell density map

I guess we all can make a DTM out of many sources but SRTM is one of the most common ones, right?. Then let’s learn from this very simple approach how close we are from the SRTM raw data. Selecting a not very big representative area to be able to handle it, exporting raster to polygon (fromContinue reading “DTM from SRTM?

Using Excel to calculate the RMSE for LiDAR vertical ground control points

(source: http://dominoc925.blogspot.com/) The height accuracy of the collected LiDAR data can be verified by comparing with independently surveyed ground control points on hard, flat, open surfaces. It is essentially just calculating the height differences for all the control points and then determining the height root mean squared error (RMSE) or differences. Most LiDAR processing software have theContinue reading “Using Excel to calculate the RMSE for LiDAR vertical ground control points”
