Hi,
I’d like to thank everyone for suggestions on my previous question about the interpolation of DEMs from 30 to 10 m res. and problems I had with ‘v.surf.rst’ module. I am still experimenting interpolation with it and i hope to get a good interpolated DEM finally. Hamish suggested I use ‘r.resamp.rst’ instead and I did (with the default values). The results look really impressive; it took equally long time for a single DEM (about 90 minutes). I used the resultant DEM to make slope and aspect maps; nothing seems weird. I also used the mapcalc module to check the difference between 30m and 10m DEMs and it is within -1 and 1 m range. However, I used ‘r.resamp.rst’ on one imagery only.
So, I am writing to ask for suggestions about which module to use for 30m to 10m interpolation. I understand that ‘v.surf.rst’ and ‘r.resamp.rst’ use the same approach (i.e., spline tension) but in different ways (which is not surprising since GRASS offers a lot of alternative ways of manipulating data) and given my limited experience with GIS, I will appreciate suggestions from the more experienced users.
Thanks,
- I am running a slightly old version (late 2009) of GRASS 6.5 on Mac OS 10.5.8
