Please add Create elevation points from a DEM—ArcGIS Pro from the Defense Mapping extension to both ArcGIS 3D Analyst and ArcGIS Spatial Analyst.
An alternative method for obtaining spot elevations involves utilizing focal maxima through raster functions. This approach is both efficient and does not rely on contours.
Steps:
I employed this method, along with another process for indexing multiple scales, to generate the World Topographic Map's spot elevations globally, totaling 60 million mountain and hilltop spot elevations worldwide. By using a DSM (Digital Surface Model) minus DTM as input along with a canopy mask, this technique can also be applied to map trees, as demonstrated in Kentucky, Connecticut, Indiana, Vermont, and across England, resulting in the mapping of over a billion 3D trees, all published in ArcGIS Online.
