The novel Locally Refined B-spline (LR B-spline) surface format is suited for representing terrain and seabed data in a compact way. It provides an alternative to the well know raster and triangulated surface representations. An LR B-spline surface has an overall smooth behaviour and allows the modelling of local details with only a limited growth in data volume. The surfaces generated approximate the smooth component of a cloud of data points within user specified tolerances. The method can be modified to improve the accuracy in particular domains and selected data points. The resulting surfaces are well suited for computing secondary information such as contour curves and minimum and maximum points. The surfaces can be translated into a raster or a tessellated surface of desired quality or exported as collections of tensor-product spline surfaces. Data transfer can also be performed using Part 42 of ISO 10303 (the STEP standard) where LR B-splines were published in 2018.
