It would be possible by resampling the DEM to higher resolution (e.g. 1m) using cubic convolution or bilinear interpolation technique. In our study for tropical montane forest, the accuracy was maintained when we resampled the DEM to 1m, 2m and 5m of spatial resolution (SD=9.0m-10.4m; RMSE=9.3m-10.6m).
