Tóm tắt

Modern digital terrain models (DTM) are widely used in the exploration of water areas. The models are often based on bathymetric data from a multibeam echosounder. DTM creators should properly select model parameters, firstly the grid resolution. High grid resolution enables creating very accurate models, however, they require high computing power and the data gathered in the grid occupy much more memory space. Low grid resolution means significantly less data describing the model, but, naturally, its accuracy will also be lower. The author proposes a method permitting to examine the accuracies of DTMs that depend on adopted grid resolution. Further the article will present search for an accurate grid resolution for three selected real surfaces of the seabed. The obtained results were visualized and interpreted. The author also proposes tips to be used while creating DTMs. Conclusions from the research may be helpful in digital terrain modeling of the seabed.
