Digital Terrain Modeling – Aspect models

Digital Terrain Modeling – Aspect models

In digital terrain modeling the Aspect of a surface refers to the azimuth to which a slope is orientated. The aspect or orientation of a slope can produce very significant influences on it, so it is important to know the aspect of the plane as well as the slope.Together the slope combined with the aspect of the surface can virtually define the surface plane completely in digital terrain modeling

This image is an Aspect Model that I derived from a digital elevation model (DEM) of Lismore, Nova Scotia. The aspect values of the slopes of the DEM are represented in the model by a 0-255 grey scale color ramp. Click here to learn a little more about Aspect Models and how the image below was created.
