RELIEF REPRESENTATION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL TERRAIN MODELING IN DIGITAL MAP CREATION

  • 1. Asia International University

Description

Digital cartography plays an important role in modern geoinformation systems and engineering applications. Accurate relief representation and Digital Terrain Models (DTM) ensure the precision and reliability of digital maps. This article examines the importance of terrain modeling, GIS technologies, remote sensing methods, and modern surveying techniques in digital map creation. The study also highlights the application of DTMs in engineering, hydrology, urban planning, and environmental monitoring. Accurate terrain models improve spatial analysis and support sustainable territorial development.
