Feature Preserving Smoothing

This tool is designed to smooth digital elevation models (DEMs) by reducing surface roughness while preserving significant topographic features such as breaks in slope. It works by calculating and smoothing surface normal vectors and then updating the elevations based on this smoothed data.

Input parameters

  • Input raster DEM file – Select the file that will be modified.

Output parameters

  • Output raster file – Enter the name for the new generated model.
  • Size of the filter kernel – tbd
  • Maximum difference in normal vectors, in degrees – tbd
  • Number of iterations – tbd
  • Maximum allowable absolute elevation change (optional) – tbd
  • Optional multiplier for when the vertical and horizontal units are not the same – tbd
