Calculate DEM resolution

[tuffi]

Hi,

i am looking for a way to calculate the possible  output DEM resolution before perform dense cloud generation. So I can decide the dense cloud quality relative to me DEM requirement and save more time possible in the generation of the dense cloud.

Someone can help me?

Thanks

Emanuele

Hi Emanuele,

That's quite simple. If you have your aligned project, simply go to File > Generate Report and save this pdf file. Open it and go to page 2. Look at the value behind the Ground resolution.

If it for instance gives you a value of 2.0 cm/pix you can calculate the native DEM resolution by multiplying the dense cloud quality levels with the ground resolution.

Ultra high  = 1 * 2.0 = DEM resolution of 2 cm
High          = 2 * 2.0 = DEM resolution of 4 cm
Medium    = 4 * 2.0 = DEM resolution of 8 cm
Low          = 8 * 2.0 = DEM resolution of 16 cm
Lowest     = 16 * 2.0 = DEM resolution of 32 cm
