Wellington Elevations: Interpolating the Bathymetry
It is important to note something from the very beginning. The interpolated bathymetry developed in this project does not reflect the actual bathymetry of the Wellington Harbour. It is my best guess based on the tools I had and the data I worked with. Furthermore, this interpolation is NOT the official product of any institution.…

Building the Wellington Model with 1m DEM and DSM
As interest in LiDAR derived elevation increases, so grows the interest in the capabilities. LiDAR derived elevation data has been great for my visualization game and in helping me communicate the story out about what LiDAR can do. It all starts with a picture to get the imagination going. The Wellington model derived for this…

The Rejects
Sometimes there is simply not enough room for all the ideas. Sometimes you want all the images to make it to the final round. In a recent project to promote some of our elevation data, I was asked to present a number of ideas for a 2000mm x 900mm wall hanging. The piece was to…

Processing and Visualizing Auckland 1m DEM/DSM Elevation Data
About two years ago, I took on a cartographic project visualizing the Auckland 1m DEM and DSM found publicly via the LINZ Data Service (LDS) here: DEM, DSM. The goal at the time was to develop a base map for the extraction of high resolution images for use in various static media. It was a…
