Overview: This project demonstrates how to extract coordinates from Google Earth data, generate Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) using those coordinates, and visualize the resulting terrain in Python.
The project required a method of interpolation that only accounted for distance from the measurement points and not elevation. Other research has shown that in some situations and in some regions a ...
The conclusion that IDW performed better than the other two interpolation models applied to these data had not been the expected result. There was an a priori expectation that the apparently strong ...
