Extraction of Watersheds from Dtm and Images with Subpixel Precision

نویسنده

  • Carsten Steger
چکیده

An approach to extract watersheds and watercourses, as well as their corresponding valleys and hills, from grid DTMs and digital images with subpixel accuracy is proposed. The critical points of the terrain, which are essential as the starting points for the construction of these separatrices, are extracted efficiently with subpixel accuracy by a linear-filter-based approach. The separatrices are extracted by integrating their defining differential equation. Finally, the hills and valleys are constructed by an efficient graph search algorithm. Examples show the quality of the results that can be achieved with the proposed approach.

Subpixel-Precise Extraction of Watersheds

An approach to extract watersheds and watercourses, as well as their corresponding valleys and hills, from images with subpixel precision is proposed. The critical points of the terrain are essential as the starting points for the construction of these separatrices. They are extracted efficiently with subpixel precision using an approach based on derivatives of Gaussian filters. The separatrice...

Comparison Density and Fractal Dimension of Drainage Networks in Different Scales and Precision Different (Case Study: Ilam Watersheds)

Every phenomena in the nature, despite the complexity of the subject, has certain rules and regulations. River pattern and behavior as one of the most complex natural phenomena to this is not an exception. Depending on geomorphologic, climatic, topographic and erosive conditions, the waterways exhibit different patterns and behaviors. One of the parameters which can be achieved using the comple...

Evaluation of Subpixel Line and Edge Detection Precision and Accuracy

An extensive analysis of the quality of the extraction results of a subpixel line detector and a subpixel edge detector is carried out. The localization quality of line and edge points in the presence of noise is analyzed analytically, and new formulas describing this relationship are derived. Tests on synthetic noisy images show the formulas to hold very well in practice. Experiments on real i...

High-Precision Localization of Circular Landmarks in Aerial Images

The reliability and accuracy of point-based image registration strongly depends on the selection of suitable landmarks and on the precision of localizing theses landmarks in images. In this contribution, we consider the problem of landmark extraction for the purpose of aerial image registration. We suggest to use a specific type of circular landmarks and introduce a model-based approach for loc...

Accuracy improvement of Best Scanline Search Algorithms for Object to Image Transformation of Linear Pushbroom Imagery

Unlike the frame type images, back-projection of ground points onto the 2D image space is not a straightforward process for the linear pushbroom imagery. In this type of images, best scanline search problem complicates image processing using Collinearity equation from computational point of view in order to achieve reliable exterior orientation parameters. In recent years, new best scanline sea...
