Terrain geometric parameter extraction method based on hierarchical elevation cloud atlas

Abstract

The invention relates to a terrain geometric parameter extraction method based on a hierarchical elevation cloud atlas, which comprises terrain classification and recognition, terrain simplification and terrain geometric parameter extraction processes. For a 401*401 DEM grid terrain specified in the digital map of the GeoTIFF format of the ASTER GDEM type, the relative height is first calculated to divide the terrain into five types: the plain, the hill, the low mountain, the middle mountain, and the high mountain through programming; the hierarchical elevation cloud atlas of the specified terrain is obtained through elevation layering and color mapping; the eight neighborhood boundary tracking algorithm is used in image processing to obtain the terrain bottom surface boundary, the bottomsurface area and the center of the bottom surface, and the color representing the maximum elevation interval is identified to obtain the average elevation of the highest area of the terrain; finally,the geometric parameters of the plain, spherical crown, cone and wedge shape of the terrain simplified geometric model are obtained by combining the terrain classification, the calculation of the bottom shape factor and the slope calculation. The invention has the advantages of simple method, small calculation amount, real-time performance and practicality.

Problems solved by technology

It can be seen that the existing research results have the following problems: (1) The research only involves special terrain points (such as mountain tops, saddle points), special lines (ridge lines, valley lines, mountain lines, foot lines, defense boundaries) and other local areas. For the recognition of geometric features, there is a lack of research on the recogn...
