Abstract
    Multibeam echosounder measurements serve to make a digital terrain model (DTM) of the seafloor. The Delaunay triangulation is a widely appreciated and investigated mathematical model to represent the relief of such a terrain and is highly efficient for building triangular irregular networks out of non-homogeneous data such as raw multibeam data. However, most multibeam systems deliver equidistant interpolated data, allowing faster processing to be achieved by using equidistant grid modelling. Both approaches yield their own advantages and drawbacks. More specifically, the filtering options of TIN and grid models are quite different. An analysis of both workflows will be worked out.
