The invention discloses an
earth surface microtopography extraction method and device based on
vegetation coverage conditions, and the method comprises the steps: uniformly distributing control points at two sides of an observation region through the
control point function of Agisoft Metashape
software, obtaining the coordinates of each
control point, setting the origin of the coordinates, carrying out the photographing to obtain an image
data set, and carrying out the extraction of the
earth surface microtopography; agisoft Lens
open source software is used to automatically correct distorted photos of the image
data set to obtain a corrected image
data set and export a correction coefficient, photo alignment is carried out to generate sparse point clouds, camera alignment optimization is carried out according to the sparse point clouds and the
control point coordinates to obtain dense point clouds, and the dense point clouds are subjected to
image alignment optimization. And performing high-precision classification on the dense point clouds according to the HSV value to obtain classified point clouds, selecting the classified point clouds of which the
point cloud distribution category is the ground, and performing interpolation to generate a
digital elevation model, thereby realizing direct acquisition and
processing of the slope surface microtopography DEM under the
vegetation coverage condition, reducing the influence of
vegetation on surface microtopography extraction, and improving the extraction efficiency of the slope surface microtopography. And the detection of the microtopography change process under the vegetation coverage condition is enhanced.
