Hydrographic Surface Modeling Through A Raster Based Spline Creation Method, Julie G. Alexander
Hydrographic Surface Modeling Through A Raster Based Spline Creation Method, Julie G. Alexander
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The United States Army Corp of Engineers relies on accurate and detailed surface models for various construction projects and preventative measures. To aid in these efforts, it is necessary to work for advancements in surface model creation. Current methods for model creation include Delaunay triangulation, raster grid interpolation, and Hydraulic Spline grid generation. While these methods produce adequate surface models, attempts for improved methods can still be made.
A method for raster based spline creation is presented as a variation of the Hydraulic Spline algorithm. By implementing Hydraulic Splines in raster data instead of vector data, the model creation process …
