Interoperable processing of digital elevation models in grid infrastructures
Based on the service specifications of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) support the visualization, access to vector and raster data or managing and search for spatial data. A standard for distributed spatial data processing was missing for a long time. This issue was addressed by the development of the OpenGIS Web Processing Service (WPS) specification. H...
متن کاملCarving and adaptive drainage enforcement of grid digital elevation models
[1] An effective and widely used method for removing spurious pits in digital elevation models consists of filling them until they overflow. However, this method sometimes creates large flat regions which in turn pose a problem for the determination of accurate flow directions. In this study, we propose to suppress each pit by creating a descending path from it to the nearest point having a low...
متن کاملTowards Standards-Based Processing of Digital Elevation Models for Grid Computing through Web Processing Service (WPS)
Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and 3D spatial data plays an important role in typical earth science applications. Numerous simulations, e.g. flood modeling, and spatial analysis, requires very exact terrain data. During the acquisition of these data, for an example by means of laserscanning, very large data sets results due to the high measuring point density (up to four points per square meter...
متن کاملA Computational-Grid Based System for Continental Drainage Network Extraction Using SRTM Digital Elevation Models
We describe a new effort for the computation of elevation derivatives using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) results. Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) SRTM has produced a near global database of highly accurate elevation data. The scope of this database enables computing precise stream drainage maps and other derivatives on Continental scales. We describe a computing architecture fo...
متن کاملImproving user assessment of error implications in digital elevation models
A digital representation of a terrain surface is an approximation of reality and is inherently prone to some degree of error and uncertainty. Research in uncertainty analysis has produced a vast range of methods for investigating error and its propagation. However, the complex and varied methods proposed by researchers and academics create ambiguity for the dataset user. In this study, existing...
