Introduction. The kriging interpolation model conducted in part 2 of this article resulted in approximately one million water depth interpolated observations covering the entire area surveyed by the vessel. We have been able to create a simple 2D bathymetry map using the output of the kriging interpolation and now we can follow a few last steps for generating a 3D bathymetry map.
Part 3 - Build a 3D map First of all, let’s convert our SpatialPixelDataFrame object created with kriging interpolation to a data frame with 3 columns : X (easting), Y (northing), and Depths (Water depth). ...
