Adding Gaussian noise to inaccurate digital elevation models improves spatial fidelity of derived drainage networks
[1] An economical approach to improving predictions of hydrological models produced highly accurate representations of ephemeral and perennial stream networks. Traditional drainage network extraction from digital elevation models (DEMs) often yields inaccurate and inconsistent results because of elevation errors. Topographic wetness index maps calculated from alternative terrain representations...
متن کاملChanges in geometry and subglacial drainage derived from digital elevation models: Unteraargletscher, Switzerland, 1927–97
Digital elevation models of the bed and surface of Unteraargletscher, Switzerland, are used to reconstruct the theoretical pattern of basal water drainage for the years 1927, 1947, 1961 and 1997, during which period the glacier was thinning and receding. The theoretical drainage pattern for 1997 compares well, in a broad sense, with the locations of active moulins and the hydraulic connection s...
متن کاملA flooding algorithm for extracting drainage networks from unprocessed digital elevation models
A new method for extracting the drainage network from a digital elevation model (DEM) is presented. It is based on the well-known D8 approach that simulates the overland flow but uses a more elaborate water transfer model that is inspired by the natural behaviour of water. The proposed solution has several advantages: it works on unprocessed DEMs avoiding the problems caused by pits and flats, ...
متن کاملassessing the quality and accuracy of drainage morphometric analyses of drainage networks extracted from digital elevation models: a case study on robate gharebil catchment in northern khorasan
this paper aims to assess the quality and accuracy aster dems and the arcgis alogorthms used for hydrologic analyses. to this end, first the plan of drainage networks in the region was extracted from aerial photographs and high resolution satellite images and was set as the real ground. in the next step, using the hydrology tool in arcgis software, raster networks of the region for the whole ca...
متن کاملAccuracy of Local Topographic Variables Derived from Digital Elevation Models
We study the accuracy of data on some local topographic attributes derived from digital elevation models (DEMs). First, we carry out a test for the precision of four methods for calculation of partial derivatives of elevations. We ® nd that the Evans method is the most precision algorithm of this kind. Second, we produce formulae for root mean square errors of four local topographic variables (...
