数字高程模型已严格定义为按规则格网阵列记录的地形高程数据,其固有的结构特征(如格网分辨率、格网方向、高程数据准确度等)直接影响DEM对地形表达和坡度、坡向的计算精度。该文通过理论和数据独立的DEM实验分析方法,研究了DEM结构特征对坡度、坡向的影响,得出如下结论:1)高分辨率的DEM并不一定能给出高精度的坡度、坡向计算结果;2)可通过g=bm/ms×180/π×cos2S来选择合适的DEM分辨率;3)三阶不带权差分算法的坡度、坡向计算结果对DEM方向有较强的依赖性。     

一种基于坡度分析的DEM数字水印算法

提出一种新的基于坡度分析的DEM数字水印算法.该算法以DEM坡度为主要研究对象,由于坡度误差主要集中在平坦地区,而经小波变换后的DEM低频系数信息可反映DEM区域的地形复杂度,因此,通过对DEM低频系数进行分析,可自适应地确定水印的嵌入位置;然后以加性法则将水印信息嵌入低频系数,再经小波逆变换,即可得到含水印信息的DEM数据.实验结果表明,该算法能完全满足水印的不可见性,对DEM数据的高程精度、坡度精度及等高线的提取精度影响都很小,能够满足一定的应用要求,且具有良好的抗噪能力.

联合GPS和SARAL卫星测高数据构建南极Dome A区域DEM

南极冰盖数字高程模型(digital elevation model,DEM)对南极环境变化和地形研究具有重要作用,利用GPS实测数据和卫星测高数据建立DEM是构建南极冰盖表面DEM的重要方法。考虑到实测GPS数据的精度较高,而卫星测高的空间分辨率占优,本文探讨综合利用这两种数据构建南极Dome A区域DEM。法国国家空间研究中心和印度空间研究组织共同研制的SARAL卫星是Envisat的后续卫星,搭载的Alti Ka雷达高度计首次采用了Ka波段,可以极大减小电离层的影响,提高测距精度和卫星数据的空间分辨率。本文首先利用中国南极第29次科学考察在Dome A区域的实测GPS数据对SARAL数据进行精度评定,然后利用实测GPS数据对SARAL测高数据进行高程修正,联合GPS数据获取得到了Dome A区域300 m分辨率的DEM。结果表明SARAL的高程精度为0.615 m,而联合GPS数据能改善DEM精度,提高到0.261 m。

Automated placement of supplementary contour lines

Supplementary contour lines are placed between regular contour lines to visualize small but important forms that regular contour lines are unable to show. On topographic maps, typical forms are hillcrests, depressions, saddles, terraces, banks, and levees. No automated method for the selection of supplementary contour lines has been described so far. We document cartographic design principles for the selection of supplementary contour lines for topographic maps, and present an automated method for their placement. Results of the automated method are similar to manually placed supplementary contour lines. Our method helps map authors to create contour line maps that more effectively illustrate relevant small details in maps showing terrain elevation or other scalar fields.     

Storage-efficient method for generating contours focusing on roundness

A storage-efficient contour generation method, focusing on planar contours, is developed. Given cartographic elevations on a rectangular lattice, a continuous bivariate function, z = f(x, y), is determined by interpolating the elevation values. Then, we focus on a contour determined by z = constant. The contour curve is partitioned into multiple sections, each of which is exactly or approximately round. Three curvature types are introduced to evaluate the roundness of each section. The area and perimeter of the contour are computed by one-dimensional line integration using Green’s theorem. If the contour is open, it is divided into two curves starting from the same initial point, with the control points advancing in opposite directions. Two types of numerical experiments are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. One experiment uses an analytically defined elevation function and investigates the number of control points and computation time for a resulting computation error. The second experiment uses actual digital elevation model data of an isolated island in Japan and compares the proposed method with existing ones. Because the algorithm does not require lattice subdivision and the number of control points is drastically reduced, the proposed method is storage efficient.     

基于不同算法等高线曲率的提取与分析

等高线曲率是一个重要的地形属性,反应了地形表面在水平方向的凹凸性,表达了地表物质运动的发散和汇合模式。基于安塞县县南沟小流域的矢量等高线数据和DEM,分别利用圆拟合算法（相邻三点法、间隔三点法和最小二乘法）和曲面拟合模型（E模型、S模型和Z模型）提取等高线曲率,通过对实地地形的对比分析,结果表明：（1） 在矢量等高线数据的计算结果中,三点拟合法计算结果相比最小二乘法结果差异大,对等高线曲率空间格局分布描述更准确;（2） 最小二乘法计算的结果频数分布集中程度最高,两种三点拟合法计算结果频数曲线差别微小;（3） 在栅格数字高程模型的计算结果中,基于S模型计算结果在空间格局上较E模型和Z模型的结果差别大,基于E模型的计算结果对等高线曲率描述效果更好。结果能准确说明采用不同算法计算等高线曲率的差别,对在实际数字地形分析中有重要的意义,可为等高线曲率计算提供重要参考。

Crossing natural and data set boundaries: coastal terrain modelling in the South-West Finnish Archipelago

Geographical information systems (GIS) are important tools in coastal research and management. Coastal GIS applications involve special challenges, because the coastal environment is a complex transitional system between the terrestrial and marine realms. Also acquisition methods and responsibilities for spatial data (and thus their properties) change at the shoreline. This article explores the consequences of this land-sea divide for coastal terrain modelling. We study how methods designed for terrestrial environments can be used to create integrated raster coastal terrain models (CTMs) from coarse elevation and depth data. We focus on shore slopes, because many particularities of coastal terrain and the data which describe it as well as the resulting problems are concentrated in the shore zone. Based on shorelines, terrestrial contours, depth contours and depth points, we used the ANUDEM algorithm to interpolate CTMs at different spatial resolutions, with and without drainage enforcement, for two test areas in a highly complex archipelago coast. Slope aspect and gradient rasters were derived from the CTMs using Horn's algorithm. Values were assigned from the slope rasters to thousands of points along the test areas' shorelines in different ways. Shore slope gradients and aspects were also calculated directly from the shorelines and contours. These modelled data were compared to each other and to field-measured shore profiles using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. As far as the coarse source data permitted, the interpolation and slope calculations delivered good results at fine spatial resolutions. Vector-based slope calculations were very sensitive to quality problems of the source data. Fine-resolution raster data were consequently found most suitable for describing shore slopes from coarse coastal terrain data. Terrestrial and marine parts of the CTMs were subject to different errors, and modelling methods and parameters had different consequences there. Thus, methods designed for terrestrial applications can be successfully used for coastal terrain modelling, but the choice of methods and parameters and the interpretation of modelling results require special attention to the differences of terrestrial and marine topography and data.     

Loess terrain segmentation from digital elevation models based on the region growth method

Regional automatic segmentation – automatic terrain segmentation according to terrain features – is significant for modern geographical analysis. We propose a new approach of terrain region segmentation based on the region growth method. This method features actual runoff nodes as seed points. The corresponding growth threshold is defined based on statistical analysis of quantitative indexes of topographic features. Terrain segmentation of some regions is completed using the growth threshold. The corresponding edge boundaries of different terrain regions are extracted by image processing. Thus, the automatic segmentation of the terrain region is realized by the edge boundary. The application of the method to a typical Chinese loess landform area and automatic segmentation of three types of terrain regions – gully interfluve land, gully slope land, and gully groove land – are achieved by analyzing characteristics of the curvature structure of surface profiles. Segmentation results, compared with results of visual interpretation from a high-precision digital orthophoto map, show an average accuracy of segmentation of 93.51%. Topographic factor features of segmentation results are statistically analyzed. This study presents an effective and practical approach for segmenting terrain regions. This approach may be incorporated into the theory and method system of digital terrain analysis.     

Historic reconstruction of reservoir topography using contour line interpolation and structure from motion photogrammetry

The geometry of impounded surfaces is a key tool to reservoir storage management and projection. Yet topographic data and bathymetric surveys of average-aged reservoirs may be absent for many regions worldwide. This paper examines the potential of contour line interpolation (TOPO) and Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry to reconstruct the topography of existing reservoirs prior to dam closure. The study centres on the Paso de las Piedras reservoir, Argentina, and assesses the accuracy and reliability of TOPO- and SfM- derived digital elevation models (DEMs) using different grid resolutions. All DEMs were of acceptable quality. However, different interpolation techniques produced different types of error, which increased (or decreased) with increasing (or decreasing) grid resolution as a function of their nature, and relative to the terrain complexity. In terms of DEM reliability to reproduce area–elevation relationships, processing-related disagreements between DEMs were markedly influenced by topography. Even though they produce intrinsic errors, it is concluded that both TOPO and SfM techniques hold great potential to reconstruct the bathymetry of existing reservoirs. For areas exhibiting similar terrain complexity, the implementation of one or another technique will depend ultimately on the need for preserving accurate elevation (TOPO) or topographic detail (SfM).
