Class C5UTM10To30Meter

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.c5corp.DEMconvert.C5DemAbstractFilter
      extended by com.c5corp.DEMconvert.filters.C5UTM10To30Meter
All Implemented Interfaces:
C5DemConstants

public final class C5UTM10To30Meter
extends C5DemAbstractFilter

Converts a DEM file into a corpscon/C5UTM batch file with 10 meter to 30 meter downsampling also functions as an filter in C5 DEM tools.

Since:
1.0.3

Current USGS DEM data typically contains data cast on the North American Horizontal Datum of 1927, (NAD27), and the vertical datum NGVD29. Some of the newer data is NAD83.

The US army corps of engineers makes a dos/win program called CORPSCON (which encapsulates NADCON from noaa for its horizontal conversions), that converts between various horizontal and vertical datum. This class exports DEM data into a CORPCON batch file to preform such conversions.

CORPSCON is available at: http://crunch.tec.army.mil/software/corpscon/corpscon.html

Thank you to the corps of engineers and noaa.

The following is from the Corpswin.doc (CORPSCON documentation), about the file format for UTM grid coords:

For grid coordinates, the fields are:

  1. Point Name
  2. Easting or X value
  3. Northing or Y value
  4. Elevation (optional)

Again, the fourth field is required only if vertical conversions are to be performed. Below are some examples of valid lines for grid coordinates:

Point A, 500000.0, 2600000.0, 1238.4566
, 500010, 2600400.264, 10.66
PTC, 512353.23523,2600234.23453, 100.6

Lines beginning with a ';' or '#' characters in Corpscon Batch Files are interpreted as comment lines.
