“…The digital elevation model (DEM) represents the earth's topographic surface digitally, either as a raster or vector representation incorporating the elevation data. A set of quality ground control points (GCPs) are required to create DEM, in the form of a two-dimensional array with elevation at every latitude, and longitude location [1,2]. Openly accessible DEMs are available on various web portals such as BHUVAN for CartoDEM V3 R1 data with 1 arc, 30 m resolution, and GeoServices DLR for TanDEM-X 90 with 90m resolution.…”

“…The TanDEM-X had challenges in vertical accuracy due to different imaging configurations as well as data processing methods, and contained various errors. CartoDEM products are used to establish the accurate geographic location of features and make measurements with its improved version three, release one; i.e., CartoDEM V3 R1 [2][3][4][5]. CartoDEM V3 R1 works best with the plain regions when evaluated with the GCPs collected using the differential Global Positioning System (D-GPS) method, which is relatively expensive and provides inputs for erosion mapping, and terrain modeling [4,6].…”

The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is mostly used to extract the terrain parameters for surface and elevation analysis to represent the topography of the earth’s surface in the best possible way. Nowadays, smart devices such as smartphones and tablets employed with GPS chipsets are easily available in the market. These smart devices can measure elevation data and are cost effective. The relatively plain areas of Ratlam City (Madhya Pradesh) were the study area. A Vivo 1606 smartphone incorporated with Assisted-GPS (A-GPS) was used with a GPS utility App called Mobile Topographer to collect the ground coordinates and elevation data. The ground control points (GCPs) were collected in parts of urban areas, such as open grounds, streets, parks, and other uniformly distributed GCP locations with few GCPs in outer regions of the city. Using smartphone-derived GCPs as a reference, the two openly accessible DEMs—namely CartoDEM V3 R1 and TanDEM-X—were evaluated statistically. Statistical parameters such as Mean Error (ME), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) were computed for comparative quality analysis between CartoDEM V3 R1 and TanDEM-X 90, using the observed GPS elevation data. The ME (4.60 m), MAE (6.12 m), and RMSE (7.15 m) for TanDEM-X 90 were higher than that of CartoDEM V3 R1, ME (3.09 m), MAE (5.05 m), and RMSE (6.17 m), respectively. The results from the A-GPS Smartphone revealed that the accuracy of CartoDEM V3 R1 is higher and it statistically performs better than TanDEM-X in plain areas of Ratlam using the Smartphone A-GPS.
