Granularity of Digital Elevation Model and Optimal Level of Detail in Small-Scale Cartographic Relief Presentation

One of the key applications of digital elevation models (DEMs) is cartographic relief presentation. DEMs are widely used in mapping, most commonly in the form of contours, hypsometric tints, and hill shading. Recent advancements in the coverage, quality, and resolution of global DEMs facilitate the...
