Lidar surface model minus surface model to get above ground elevations. All negative elevations are reclassed to zero. Water bodies are used to mask out bathymetry and water in the dgm. Buildings are extracted using the 2009 impervious layer to mask out vegetation. The reverse impervious is done to mask the vegetation. |
