چکیده
We consider the problem of extracting morphology of a terrain represented as a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN). We propose a new algorithm and compare it with representative algorithms of the main approaches existing in the literature to this problem.

Analysis and Comparison of Algorithms for Morse Decompositions on Triangulated Terrains
We consider the problem of extracting the morphology of a terrain represented as a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN). Our reference framework to model terrain morphology is given by the descending and the ascending Morse complexes, which define a decomposition of the terrain through its critical points and integral lines. We review several algorithms proposed in the literature to extract des...
متن کاملPresenting a Morphological Based Approach for Filtering The Point Cloud to Extract the Digital Terrain Model
The Digital terrain model is an important geospatial product used as the basis of many practical projects related to geospatial information. Nowadays, a dense point cloud can be generated using the LiDAR data. Actually, the acquired point cloud of the LiDAR, presents a digital surface model that contains ground and non-ground objects. The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach of ex...
متن کاملExtracting Topographic Terrain Features from Elevation Maps
Some applications such as the autonomous navigation in natural terrain and the automation of map making process require highlevel scene descriptions as well as geometrical representation of the natural terrain environments. In this paper, we present methods for building high level terrain descriptions, referred to as topographic maps, by extracting terrain features like “peaks,” “pits,” “ridges...
متن کاملA BOINC based System for Global Topographic Structure Extraction Using SRTM Digital Elevation Models
A public computing project named Terrain@home, is built on BOINC for extracting terrain features from global scope DEM data. Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), which is a near global scope database of high accuracy elevation data, is selected as test data for Terrain@home. Conventional algorithms for terrain features auto extracting for example slope gradient, delineating drainage network...
متن کاملExtracting Prior Knowledge from Data Distribution to Migrate from Blind to Semi-Supervised Clustering
Although many studies have been conducted to improve the clustering efficiency, most of the state-of-art schemes suffer from the lack of robustness and stability. This paper is aimed at proposing an efficient approach to elicit prior knowledge in terms of must-link and cannot-link from the estimated distribution of raw data in order to convert a blind clustering problem into a semi-supervised o...
