چکیده

In terrain mapping, there are so many ways to measure and estimate the terrain measurements like contouring, vertical profiling, hill shading, hypsometric tinting, perspective view, etc. Here in this paper we are using the contouring techniques to generate the contours for the different digital elevation data like DEM, HGT, IMG etc. The elevation data is captured in dem, hgt and img formats of the same projected area and the contour is generated using the existing techniques and applications. The exact differences, errors of elevation (contour) intervals, slopes and heights are analyzed and recovered.

Improvised Interpolation of Contour Lines Using Spider Weaving Approach

Geographically contours are virtual lines drawn across the terrain to join points that are at same elevation from certain reference point. Contours are essential morphological features that are used along with the associated elevation as basis for generating Terrain Model or Digital Elevation Model for the area of interest. These lines are represented at different scales depending upon the scal...

Streaming Extraction of Elevation Contours from LIDAR Points

Air-borne laser range scanning technology (LIDAR) is able to quickly generate massive amounts of densely spaced points that sample the elevation of a terrain. We describe a streaming technique that is able to extract high-resolution iso-contour elevation lines from such large data sets using significantly less memory than the processed input points and the produced output lines. Optional on-the...

A Compression Algorithm for Managing Digital Elevation Models in Mobile Devices

Nowadays, there are many applications such as disaster mitigation, surveying or geology-support, and others where Digital Elevation Models (DEM) are useful in the field. DEM typically requires a huge amount of data, making the tasks of DEM transmission over a wireless network or storing and displaying it in a mobile device very complex. These tasks are important challenges in computer science r...

Image Operations using a Semi-compressed Contour Tree Image Definition

The contour tree file format has been used for a few years as a suitable storage format for most image types. The technique stores unique regions into a hierarchical data structure which defines the complete raster image. This data structure is called a contour tree. It compares very favourable with other lossless coding schemes on all image format types including, bi-level and reduced colour i...

A Voronoi interior adjacency-based approach for generating a contour tree

A contour tree is a good graphical tool for representing the spatial relations of contour lines and has found many applications in map generalization, map annotation, terrain analysis, etc. A new approach for generating contour trees by introducing a Voronoi-based interior adjacency set concept is proposed in this paper. The immediate interior adjacency set is employed to identify all of the ch...
