File:Terrain vu Ely at Wly.jpg

This is an easterly view from along the westerly limit of the campus-wide terrain model. The new site excavation is visible on the right, and was available at better than 1-meter resolution from precise CAD drawings. The main campus area in mid-view and along the left is derived from regional DEM data publicly available at http://seamless.usgs.gov for most of the US. These regional DEM 10-meter data were projected into a local coordinate system that was rotated 14 degrees relative to the UTM grid at the campus, then modified using ERDAS Imagine focal analysis with a 7x7 kernel and mean filtering.
