Triangulated Irregular Network
(TINTIN)A set of adjacent, non-overlapping
triangles computed from irregularly spaced points with x, y
coordinates and z values.

• Discrete vs. Continuous features– Discrete features;
• roads,
• land ownership,
– Continuous features;• elevation,
• Rainfall data,
• Pollution concentration

What is a TIN ?What is a TIN ?
• Tin data structure based on two basic elements to form a continuous faceted surface.
»Points with x,y,z values
»Series of edges

What is a TIN ? What is a TIN ? (cont.)(cont.)
• The triangles are as equi-angular as possible
• Ensures that any point on the surface is as close as possible to a node
• The triangulation is independent of the order the points are processed

What is a Lattice ?What is a Lattice ?
• A surface interpretation of a grid– Equally spaced sample points– Referenced to a common origin – Constant sampling distance in the x and y
directions
