Land type mapping was accomplished by applying the classification procedures for each province to the 27 digital terrain models, with repeated visualization of the resulting classifications and adjustment of differentiating values.

Digital Terrain Model (DTM) - A more rigorous 3-D model of the earth's surface than a DEM. A DTM can be used for accurate contour modeling and can also be used for orthorectification.
Digital Terrain Model (DTM): A three-dimensional model of the Earth's surface, provided in digital form.
Digital Terrain Model (DTM) - A computer graphics software technique for converting point elevation data into a terrain model displaced as a contour map, sometimes as a three-dimensional "hill and valley" grid view of the ground surface.
digital terrain model or DTM may actually be a more generic term for any digital representation of a topographic surface, but it is not so widely used
the DEM is the simplest form of digital representation of topography and the most common ...
Digital terrain model (DTM) - A topographic surface or computer representation of terrain stored in a digital data file as a set of 3-dimensional (x,y,z) coordinates. The image may be displayed on a computer monitor or portrayed on a map.
The DTED digital terrain model was applied in the calculations. This model was made by the NIMA (National Imagery and Mapping Agency), and has the resolution of 30"x30".
DTM: Digital Terrain Model. A method of transferring elevation data into a contoured surface or a three-dimensional display.
The 3D DEM (digital terrain model) export is updated to be compatible with the USGS (US Geological Survey) new DEM format specification.
DTM stands for digital terrain model, a method of transforming elevation data into a contoured surface or a three-dimensional display.
Also referred to as 'digital terrain model' (DTM).
2. An elevation database for elevation data by map sheet from the National Mapping Division of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
3. The format of the USGS digital elevation data sets.
GIS related software includes both the GIS program itself and special application packages, such as digital terrain modeling and network analysis.
Digital terrain models (DTMs) are variants that show additional landscape attributes. We can use existing maps as inputs by tracing contour lines on a digitizing tablet or table.
A digital elevation model - also sometimes called a digital terrain model (DTM)[2] - generally refers to a representation of the Earth's surface (or subset of this), excluding features such as vegetation, buildings, bridges, etc.
Using the robotic total station involves entering a digital terrain model, called a TIN-file, into the grader's onboard computer. The grader is fitted with a mast and prism, which has a fixed relation to the grader blade.
Digital elevation data, frequently termed digital elevation model (DEM) or digital terrain model (DTM), provide elevation information along a contour or at regularly spaced sample points.
Strictly speaking, the term DTM, Digital Terrain Model, should be reserved for those models of reality which include information relating to surface texture, etc., in addition to information regarding elevation.
Drape: Involves laying features over a digital terrain model to provide information on features that lie on the terrain. Ther terrain model provides the shape of the terrain.
It is also widely known as a digital terrain model (DTM). A DEM can be represented as a raster (a grid of squares) or as a triangular irregular network.
How to extract contours from a raster digital terrain model
How to simplify contours by generailzing line geometry and selectively thinning the contour interval in the non-focus area.
How to export contours to DWG format with elevations.

The result is that existing elevation data, such as the USGS Digital Terrain Models (DTM), are used in most cases. Since the GIS procedures are independent of the gridding resolution, inappropriate maps can be generated and used in decision-making.
Digital data captured through photogrammetric technique is used to generate cross-sections, contour overlays for photomaps, digital terrain models, volume calculations and conventional detail maps To offer these services, ...
For example, a series of x, y and z points that have a virtual layer draped over their surface can form a 3 Dimensional Image. Digital elevation models are typically used to represent terrain relief. Also referred to as 'digital terrain model' (DTM).
