Digital Surface Model (DSM)
Functional model Tree height Single crowns Semi-continuous surface
Properties Highest points of the crowns Smooth surfaces inside the crowns Drop down to the ground between the crowns
Polynomial Approximation Approximation Local point filtering Maximum 2nd order surfaces
