DEM Reconstruction Based on Adaptive Local RBF

As the core of digital elevation model, interpolation methods have been run through the each link, such as production, quality control, accuracy assessment, analytical applications and etc. The local radial basis function interpolation method based on spatial relationship of natural neighbor was proposed in this paper. The interpolation reference points were chosen by the Delaunay Triangulation. The first-order and second-order neighboring of interpolation points as the interpolation reference points were used to construct local radial basis function. This method was applied to the construction of digital elevation model, and the correspondent errors were analyzed. Experimental result shows that the method has a good effect on the construction of different landform.
