Thus, it is important to assess their accuracy for correct applicability regarding the correct use scale. Therefore, this paper aims to assess the vertical accuracy of ALOS PALSAR, GMTED2010, SRTM, and Topodata DEMs according to the Brazilian Cartographic Accuracy Standard through the official high accuracy network data of the Brazilian Geodetic System. This study also seeks to investigate whether the altimetric error is correlated with altitude and slope in the study area. Our results showed that the four assessed DEMs in this study demonstrated satisfactory accuracy to provide mappings in scales up to 1:100,000 because more than 90% of the extracted points presented altimetric errors of less than 25 m when compared with the reference points from the high accuracy network of the Brazilian Geodetic System. Regarding the altimetric error, we could not find a significant correlation with altitude or slope in the study area. In this sense, future DEMs assessments should be based on the investigation of other factors that may influence altimetric error.NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS)Information Management Research Center (MagIC) - NOVA Information Management SchoolRUNFerreira, Zuleide AlvesCabral, Pedro2022-02-07T23:23:38Z2022-02-022022-02-02T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article14application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/132462eng2220-9964PURE: 36645260https://doi.org/10.3390/ijgi11020106info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:11:04Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/132462Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:47:27.779474Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
