Figure App 20.9: DTM Modeling<br />

Digital Photogrammetry allows for the automatic extraction <strong>of</strong> DSMs and<br />

DTMs. In order to automatically extract topography only, specific parameters<br />

governing the elevation extraction process must be specified. However, typically<br />

additional editing outside <strong>of</strong> the DTM extraction process is required to obtain a 3D<br />

topographic representation only. This process is referred to as DTM editing. DTM<br />

editing techniques are used to remove invalid elevation points in order to create an<br />

accurate representation <strong>of</strong> the Earth's topography and surface.<br />

Imagery serves as the primary source <strong>of</strong> data input for the automatic<br />

extraction <strong>of</strong> DTMs. DTMs can only be extracted if two or more overlapping images<br />

are available. Prior to the automatic extraction <strong>of</strong> DTMs, sensor model information<br />

associated with an image must be available. This includes internal and external<br />

sensor model information.<br />

Using OrthoBASE Pro, the interior orientation <strong>of</strong> an image must be defined<br />

and the exterior orientation <strong>of</strong> the image must be estimated or known from another<br />

source such as airborne GPS/INS. Without the internal and external sensor model<br />
