    13 This will create a patched aster dem to compare to the lidar dem, this will not be smoothed and as such is the raw ASTER data. It will give 2 outputs on completion the first is only the area covered by the lidar files, the second is the area only covered by the lidar data. All outputs are in metres.

    15 Preferably the averages would be around 0 metres, but in practice it tends to be around 4 - 8 metres for UK data and varying for UTM data.

    1752You can compare 2 dems already created using
     
    2358Which will skip the patching process and just give the dem outputs, if you use identical dems the outputs will be 0.

     61=== Non standard outputs ===
    2562There are a few other options for deeper analysis of dems, and analysis of trends over years

     64{{{
     65--output OUTPUT       output the resultant comparison DEM for inspection in
     66                        another program.

     69Use this to inspect the created dem and comparison dem in envi, you can confirm figures from these.

     72--histogram HISTOGRAM
     73                        Create a histogram and output it as a png at specified
     74                        location. Include file extension.
     75--png PNG               Create a PNG of the difference dem at the specified
     76                        location. Include file extension.

     79The histogram option provides a better visualisation of the mean data. PNG can be used to provide quick looks at a heatmap of the data for comparison.

     82=== Batch processing ===
     83{{{
     84  --csv                 Output as csv format for batch processing.
     85  --script              Use with csv to indicate return rather than print

     87
     88Use these two for batch processing, can be useful for creating profiles of whole years worth of data. These would be helpful if we wanted to see our overall accuracy over the year.
