Abstract
A method comprises receiving, by an elevation application communicatively coupled to a geospatial database, a request comprising a start location and an end location from a workstation, wherein the geospatial database stores elevation data describing ground elevations and clutter elevations at a plurality of different geographic locations, segmenting, by the elevation application, a path between the start location and the end location into a plurality of segments having an incremental distance, for each of the plurality of segments, constructing a segment vector comprising the ground elevation and clutter elevation of the segment, and constructing an elevation data structure comprising the segment vector for each of the plurality of segments.
