Terrain Modelling is an important aspect in various application and phenomenon taking place on earth and other planets, moon or extra-terrestrial objects. To study various natural – manmade phenomenon on earth and applications like IBP, flood, city planning, hazard zonation, and atmospheric modelling require highly accurate topography of terrain for correct decision making. A large number of methods (as applicable) have evolved for terrain modelling such as photogrammetry (satellite/aerial/terrestrial), SAR Interferometry, Radargrammetry, LiDAR (satellite/aerial/terrestrial) or a combination of these for example, ALTM-DC. These methods can be appropriately utilized with GNSS for an effective and accurate input to models used in various applications. Accessibility to high computational power has opened the ground for utilization of HR and VHR datasets.
