  2. Triangulated irregular network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulated_irregular_network

    Triangulated irregular network TIN overlaid with contour lines. In computer graphics, a triangulated irregular network (TIN) [1] is a representation of a continuous surface consisting entirely of triangular facets (a triangle mesh), used mainly as Discrete Global Grid in primary elevation modeling.

  3. Digital elevation model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_elevation_model

    3D rendering of a DTM of Tithonium Chasma on Mars. A digital elevation model (DEM) or digital surface model (DSM) is a 3D computer graphics representation of elevation data to represent terrain or overlaying objects, commonly of a planet, moon, or asteroid.

  4. Terrain cartography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrain_cartography

    The Tanaka (relief) contours technique is a method used to illuminate contour lines in order to help visualize terrain. Lines are highlighted or shaded depending on their relationship to a light source in the Northwest. If the object being illustrated would shadow a section of contour line, that contour would be represented with a black band.

  5. Marching squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marching_squares

    Typical applications include the contour lines on topographic maps or the generation of isobars for weather maps. Marching squares takes a similar approach to the 3D marching cubes algorithm: Process each cell in the grid independently. Calculate a cell index using comparisons of the contour level(s) with the data values at the cell corners.

  6. Topographic profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_profile

    A topographic profile or topographic cut or elevation profile is a representation of the relief of the terrain that is obtained by cutting transversely the lines of a topographic map. Each contour line can be defined as a closed line joining relief points at equal height above sea level. [ 1 ]

  8. Geographic information system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_Information_System

    A GIS, however, can be used to depict two- and three-dimensional characteristics of the Earth's surface, subsurface, and atmosphere from information points. For example, a GIS can quickly generate a map with isopleth or contour lines that indicate differing amounts of rainfall. Such a map can be thought of as a rainfall contour map.
