Terrain Data Analysis
Digital terrain and elevation model analysis functions,
including profile, gradient, line-of-sight, and viewshed calculations
Terrain data analysis functions enable you to calculate the gradient, slope, and aspect of elevation data. You can also calculate the viewshed for a point on or above the terrain, or calculate the line-of-sight visibility between two points on or above the terrain.

Topics
- Determine and Visualize Visibility Across Terrain
You can use regular data grids of elevation data to answer questions about the mutual visibility of locations on a surface (intervisibility).
