Evaluating preprocessing methods of digital elevation models for hydrological modelling

Effects 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...

Interpolation of digital elevation models using AMLE and related methods

Interpolation of digital elevation models becomes necessary in many situations, for instance, when constructing them from contour lines (available e.g., from nondigital cartography), or from disparity maps based on pairs of stereoscopic views, which often leaves large areas where point correspondences cannot be found reliably. The absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extension (AMLE) model is single...

Optimization of Digital Elevation Models for Routing

Routing is a common task when using digital maps, but most engines offer only travel routes for automobiles. However, a more interesting aspect in this topic arises when being a cyclist. For this target audience especially elevation information is relevant. Such data is available from different sources, but is not perfectly usable for cycling routing. Those digital elevation models may include ...

Quality assessment digital elevation models

A number of published stereo matching algorithms have been implemented and tested on SPOT images of areas for which we have gridded digital elevation models (DEMs) available with spacings of 80m or less as well as ground control checkpoints. Results will be presented for a comparison of stereo matched output with the DEMs and an analysis of the errors arising and their causes. Results will be d...
