    Abstract

    A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a representation of geographic reality. The elevations recorded within DEMs have been shown to contain errors pertaining to sampling, measurement and interpolation (Fisher, 1998). Even a small amount of elevation error can greatly affect derivative products (Holmes et al., 2000). This can potentially have a significant impact on the application of DEMs in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) where first and second order derivatives are considered.
