A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a specialized database that represents the relief of a surface between points of known elevation. By interpolating known elevation data from sources such as ground surveys and photogrammetric data capture, a rectangular digital elevation model grid can be created.
GIS software can use digital elevation models for 3D surface visualization, generating contours, and performing viewshed visibility analysis.
Digital elevation models with surface elevation data can be used to drape maps onto a 3D surface.
