- Landserf -
LandSerf is a freely available Geographical Information System (GIS)
for the visualization and analysis of surfaces developed by Jo Wood.
- Terrain Analysis System
- Wilbur - Freebie... lets you play with raster elevations.
- ArcGIS 3D Analyst
- Terragen - Photorealistic Scenery Rendering Software
- TAS -
A free program developed by John Lindsay at Manchester. 'TAS is
designed to meet the research needs of environmental modellers and
managers while being simple enough to use in the classroom. TAS can
display both raster and vector types of geographic data, and possesses
many of the standard spatial analysis function that the environmental
modeller requires.'
- 3DEM Software for Terrain Visualization and Flyby Animation
- spatial-analyst.net
- Raster Edit
- A handy utility written by Marco Van De Wiel for editing individual
cells within a raster DEM saved in the ASCII format from Arc GIS/View .
Also allows smoothing and interpolation between points.
- Surfer
- Surfer is a commonly used program for building and visualizing elevation
data. It is easy to use, but does not provide a lot of options for manipulating
data or performing analyses (plus it is not free).
- MapInfo
- MapInfo is probably the largest viable commercial rival to ArcGIS
and is very popular amongst its users. Within IGES, we have a limited
number of licenses for various versions of MapInfo. We will not use
MapInfo in this course.
- Matlab
- An exercise using Matlab to produce digital elevation models.
