Computation and Characterization of Surface Roughness of Catchments Extracted from Simulated Digital Elevation Models
In the past few decades, the quantitative computation of surface roughness has received increasing attention due to its importance in numerical surface study. In this paper, concepts of mathematical morphology are employed to compute and characterize the surface roughness of catchments extracted from a simulated digital elevation model (DEM). Morphological smoothing is implemented on the simula...
متن کاملCharacterization of Catchments Extracted From Multiscale Digital Elevation Models
In this paper, the characterization of catchments extracted from multiscale digital elevation models (DEMs) is performed. First, the lifting scheme is employed to generate multiscale DEMs. The catchments extracted from the generated multiscale DEMs are then characterized based on their numbers. A power law relationship is derived between the number of extracted catchments and the kernel size. T...
متن کاملCalculating landscape surface area from digital elevation models
There are many reasons to want to know the true surface area of the landscape, especially in landscape analysis and studies of wildlife habitat. Surface area provides a better estimate of the land area available to an animal than planimetric area, and the ratio of this surface area to planimetric area provides a useful measure of topographic roughness of the landscape. This paper describes a st...
متن کاملEffects of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) Spatial Resolution on Hydrological Simulation
Digital Elevation Model is one of the most important data for watershed modeling whit hydrological models that it has a significant impact on hydrological processes simulation. Several studies by the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) as useful Tool have indicated that the simulation results of this model is very sensitive to the quality of topographic data. The aim of this study is evaluati...
متن کاملBuilding extraction from digital elevation models
To extract buildings from Digital Elevation Models, we define a point process whose points represent buildings. We then define a density for this point process which is split into two parts, consisting in an ”internal field” that allows us to model the prior knowledge we have on patterns of buildings in urban areas and an ”external field” that makes the point process fit the data. We then use a...
