Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for generating ground-level terrain elevation models, preparing vector street data to assist in generating such models, and finding approximate elevation of any point using such terrain models are provided. Lidar data can be analyzed, and Lidar elevation values at roadway/street intersections can be used to determine a model of the ground-level elevation in an area or region. Outliers can be removed. The ground-level elevation at any point in the mapped area can be determined using elevation levels for nearby roadway intersections.
