“…Through the years many interpolation methods have been involved in generating conversion surfaces (in local and regional scales) enabling transition between geometric and physical heights, e.g., polynomial regression (Borowski and Banaś, 2019;Gucek and Bašić, 2009;Kim et al, 2018;Zhong, 1997), neural networks (Aky-ilmaz et al, 2009;Kaloop et al, 2021), geographically weighted regression (Dawod and Abdel-Aziz, 2020), kriging (Ligas and Szombara, 2018;Orejuela et al, 2021), least-squares collocation (LSC) (You, 2006), Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) (Radanović and Bašić, 2018) to mention only a few. Very often, conversion surfaces take the form of corrector surfaces due to the use of global geopotential models or gravimetric models generated prior to eliminating inconsistencies by fitting to GNSS/levelling data (Elshambaky, 2018;You, 2006).…”
