Explanation


Kriging Method

Modify the surface using the Kriging method.

  • [Select Terrain Surface]
    Select the terrain surface to modify.

  • [Select Point]
    Select the points to use in the terrain modification process.

  • [Interpolation Method]

    • Kriging Method : When finding the height of a specific point on the surface after correction, it is a method of interpolation using a linear combination of values ​​around that point. It is a statistical method that minimizes variance by obtaining the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) of the minimum variance. Most commonly used.

  • [Parameter]

    • Kriging Type : Select the interpolation method for the data.

      • Ordinary : The mean cannot be determined through Kriging, but the data is calibrated assuming that it is constant.

      • Simple : The data is calibrated by assuming that the mean is constant using simple Kriging.

      • Universal : The data is calibrated by considereing the tendency of mean in normal Kriging.

    • Empirical Model : Variogram Modeling is used to define the regularity of the data that will be applied to Kriging. This is a method to estimate the closest theoretical curve.

    • Interpolation Field

      • Relative Level : Use the relative height of the point from the selected terrain surface as the surface interpolation value.

      • Ansolute Level : Use the absolute level of the point as the surface interpolation value.

  • Linear : The points are interpolated as a straight line.

  • Spherical : The points are interpolated with linearly increasing tendency.

  • Exponential : The points are interpolated by conveging to a specific value.

  • Gaussian : The points are interpolated less in the vicinity and greater farther away.

  • Power : The points increase as the distance increases.

  • Hole-Effect : The points are interpolated by increasing at close range and by decreasing at a distance.

  • Wave : The points are interpolated in a waveform trend.

  • Rational Quadratic : The points are interpolated using a quadratic expression.

  • Circular : The points are interpolated using a trigonometric function.

  • [Option]

    • Auto Resolution : Specifies the resolution automatically. If set to Off, the value can be entered manually, and if set to On, the terrain surface uses the existing resolution value.

  • [Preview Surface]
    Preview the ground surface that will be created.

 

 

IDW(Inverse Distance Weighted) Method

Modifies the surface using the IDW method.

  • [Select Terrain Surface]
    Select the terrain surface to modify.

  • [Select Point]
    Select the points to use in the terrain modification process.

  • [Interpolation Method]

    • IDW(Inverse Distance Weighted) Method : When obtaining the height of a specific point on the surface after correction, it is a method of interpolating by giving a greater weight to the height of a point close to that point.

  • [Parameter]

    • Distance Weight : When obtaining the height of a specific point on the surface after modification, a point that is farther away is reflected less than a point that is nearby. Sets the degree to which the reflection level decreases with distance.

    • Affecting Radius : When obtaining the height of a specific surface point after modification, specify the range of data to consider.

    • Interpolation Field

      • Relative Level : Use the relative height of the point from the selected terrain surface as the surface interpolation value.

      • Ansolute Level : Use the absolute level of the point as the surface interpolation value.

  • [Option]

    • Auto Resolution : Specifies the resolution automatically. If set to Off, the value can be entered manually, and if set to On, the terrain surface uses the existing resolution value.

  • [Preview Surface]
    Preview the ground surface that will be created.
