Hi, perhaps this is not the right forum to ask such a question. This
is not an IDL issue at all.

However, to generate a DSM, you need data with surface elevation. A
source might be even panchromatic satellite images but then would be
better to use a photogrametric software to generate a DSM. The size of
grid depends on the resolution of your data - use simply the same as
input.

You probably won't find many details on DSM creation, because most are
interested into DEM creation.

Cheers, Klemen
