Contour interpolation

Contour interpolation is an operation which first rasterizes contour lines of a segment map with a value domain, and then calculates values for pixels that are not covered by segments by means of a linear interpolation. Furthermore, on the command line, this operation can also use an input raster map.

When using Contour interpolation on a segment map containing height (contour) information, the resulting raster map is a Digital Elevation Model (DEM).
