note that the camera starts at a height of 50.
all tiles scaled to <300,50,300>
as the camera flies past a peak of 50 at 50,
I get a sense something very accurate is happening
with DEMPOV regardless of image vertical scale.

if vertical scale is too high, the image is solid yellow. no data.

I suspect map vertical scale of 15 was a lucky guess.
red hits the model height of 1, so scale to 50 hits 50 for Hawaii-c.
here's what I mean,  picture is worth ... black green red

so the magick number, for every cube at 1x1x1.
xscale / 26.467 = yscale

long as you have black green red ...
find highest vertical scale,
tallest model's image hits red.

111320 /
lowest to highest elevation in meters =
if you got that number, u know your scale

its a 1x1x1 cube if your map verticalscale was black green red.

Based on photos I've seen of Mauna Kea, this looks accurate.

The highest possible point would be yellow.
Green is the low 8 bits and red the high 8 bits for a 16 bits resolution.

The blue channel is not used.

just going by what I see. red hit a scaled height of 50, eye view,
the peak sat at 50.

any solid yellow is flat top, saw that too.

hawaii-c.jpg thats as close to yellow as you want to get I suppose,
or start washing out and losing data. and it hit the mark.
