[GRASSLIST:6612] Re: surf.rst and segmax, npmin

[Māris Nartišs]

Hi,

Have You read http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/conferences/GRASS2002/proceedings/proceedings/pdfs/Cebecauer_Tomas.pdf
?

I use v.surf.rst (Grass 6.0.0) to create DTMs from isoline contour and
aditional point data. I use tension 35, smoothing 1, segmax 100 and
npmin 400 with good results. Segmentation lineas are visible only at
very undersampled areas. I will fix that by ading some points there
and then will be no problems.
Consider ading some points at areas where segmenation is visible.


WBR,
Maris.
