The extraction of drainage networks from digital elevation data
暂无分享,去创建一个
The extraction of drainage networks from digital elevation data is important for quantitative studies in geomorphology and hydrology. A method is presented for extracting drainage networks from gridded elevation data. The method handles artificial pits introduced by data collection systems and extracts only the major drainage paths. Its performance appears to be consistent with the visual interpretation of drainage patterns from elevation contours.
