%X transformation of ellipsoidal heights determined by satellite techniques into local leveling heights requires geoid heights at points of interest. however, the geoid heights at each point are not available. in order to determine them, the local geoid in the transformation area must be modeled or computed by an appropriate method, one way of doing it, is to use control points both of whose ellipsoidal and local leveling heights are available. in this study, performance of geoid by ann compared to kriging method in modeling local geoid was presented. moreover, the transformation ability of the methods was investigated through a geodetic test network in bursa metropolitan area of turkey. the results suggest that the model by ann exhibit better results than the one by kriging method.
