I have 1:25000 scale digital topomaps in dwg file. What will be the best pixel size to make DEM from that digital map? The contour interval is 10m. I tried with variogram calculation but not succeed.
6,25m is the pixel resolution where individual pixels may just be distinguishable to those with excellent vision for the scale of 1/25000. The general rule you may use to calculate the pixel size is 0,25mm / scale.
An equation you can use that relates map scale (1/x), raster data resolution, and map display resolution is:
1/x = 1 / (pixel ground size [m/pixel] × pixel density [pixels/m]), so that 1 meter on the map represents x meters on the ground
Pixel size mostly related to your application, and to generate a correct DEM from that topomap u need to generate TIN by include all of points, lines a contours, then you can generate DEM with suitable pixel size of your application.
