ESRI Terrain data element object.

Description

DETerrain, the terrain data element, is used to access the global properties of a terrain dataset. These must be set at the time the terrain dataset is created. The IDETerrain interface, implemented by DETerrain, is used to set the basic properties associated with any terrain. If IDETerrain.PyramidType is set to esriTerrainPyramidWindowSize then IDETerrainWindowSize should be used to set those properties specific to window size based pyramids. Once the properties of the DETerrain object are set it is passed to the TerrainFeatureDatasetExtension to instantiate the terrain via IDatasetContainer3.CreateDataset.

The maximum vertical displacement property associated with the secondary thinning filter.

Description

Specify a ZThreshold greater than 0.0 to employ a secondary thinning procedure that operates in conjunction with window size based filtering. If the z values of all the points in a neighborhood associated with the current window are within this threshold of one another the current window is considered flat and no additional points from finer resolution pyramid levels will be selected from within the extent of the current window. Use IDETerrainWindowSize.ZThresholdStrategy to define the neighborhood which is used.

The ZThreshold should be set at least as large as the vertical accuracy of the data in order to get over its noise floor. As you specify larger values you'll thin more points, and will realize some performance gain, but your ability to resolve/distinguish surface features will decrease.
