uniDEM supports numerous methods to fill voids that simulate terrain, or linearly fill as required.

Perimeter Void Fill

The Perimeter Void Fill samples all pixels non-void pixels adjacent to the edge of a void for a consistent elevation and then to applies the sampled elevation to all of the void data.

The elevation can be sampled as a function of statistical measures around the perimeter of each void as follows:

• Percentile - order all adjacent pixels from lowest to highest and select the height from the percentile entered
• Mean/Standard Deviation - calculate the mean and standard deviation of all adjacent pixels and select the height to be the mean + a multiple of the standard deviation.

Kernel Void Fill

Kernel based fills can be performed on voids of a defined size.

Supported types are:

• Gaussian
• Boxcar
• Inverse Distance Weighted

Default shortcut: none

Smooth Curvature

Fill operation that fills small voids using the curvature of the void edge to provide propagate terrain in a natural way.

Delta Surface

Delta Surface is a powerful set of void filling tools inspired by George Kroenung's(NGA) DSF tool.

Delta Surface can be used to fill a DEM with an alternate source, merge neighbouring DEMs in a seamless manner, or bulk adjust sections of the Active DEM with using a copy of itself.

Triangulation

Fills all selected voids with triangles connected to the edge of the void. The triangle size can be modified to increase speed or reduce the visibility of in-filled triangles.
