Elevation Models for Reproducible Evaluation of Terrain Representation - Inventory of Renderings

This is an inventory of 155 renderings from 78 publications on terrain visualization techniques. The renderings guided the selection of landform types in the elevation models that are proposed in the following article:

Kennelly, P. J., Patterson, T., Jenny, B., Huffman, D. P., Marston, B. E., Bell, S. and Tait, A. M. (2021). Elevation models for reproducible evaluation of terrain representation. Cartography and Geographic Information Science, 48:1, 63–77. DOI: 10.1080/15230406.2020.1830856

Visualization techniques include colored aspect, contour lines, hypsometric tints, plan oblique relief, relief shading, rock and scree representation, and spot heights. The inventory contains information about display scale of the sample renderings, landform types, cell size, and geographic location of the digital elevation models. Also inventoried are how authors evaluated their renderings, how scale was indicated on the renderings, and whether the cell size and source of elevation data was included.

The inventory is formatted as a single table in CSV UTF-8 and MS Excel .xlsx formats. Papers are grouped by visualization type; attributes of each rendering are stored on a single row.
