چکیده
This pqm pments a rasterbased algorithm for reconstruction of 3-D terrain data from contour information appearing on the conventional 2-D map The height of an interior point between two neighboring contam is defined by a linear interpolation formula wt.lose variables are the height of those contours arid distance from the point to the contours. The distance from an interior mint to the contour is computed by using the distance transformation operation The distance transformation is a rasterbased operation which computes the value of a pixel using the values of neighboring pixels. So our algorithm has the advantage of easy mplenrntation, and it is fast since it performs d y simple computation during raster scanning. Also the experimtal results show that the reconstructed terrain p-esaves faithfully the terrain information appearing on

Landforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
متن کاملReal-time Contour Map Reconstruction with 3D Terrain on Modern Graphics Hardware
A new algorithm for reconstructing contour map from raster DEM data is presented. It runs completely within the programmable 3D visualization pipeline in real-time. During the rendering, we first make an elevation gradient map out of original terrain vertex data. Then figure out the final contour lines with image-space processing, and blend the values on the original scene to obtain the final s...
متن کاملEnhancing Students’ Ability in Reading Contour Maps Using Gis
Terrain relief is an important feature of geographic environment and a major element of topographic maps. Contour lines are widely adopted as representation of terrain relief in traditional maps. In general, contour maps are still indispensable due to the following reasons: 1) Abundant terrain data are still represented by contour maps; 2) Contour maps contain fewer limits for use in different ...
متن کاملA contour method for real-time range image parsing
Real-time or near real-time range images are available from a variety of sources. Many proposed uses for these devices require significant post-processing to extract relevant 3-D information. We propose a new method based on a generalization of contour maps that has several advantages over current methods in tasks such as terrain reconstruction and obstacle avoidance. The method is illustrated ...
متن کاملExtracting Topographic Terrain Features from Elevation Maps
Some applications such as the autonomous navigation in natural terrain and the automation of map making process require highlevel scene descriptions as well as geometrical representation of the natural terrain environments. In this paper, we present methods for building high level terrain descriptions, referred to as topographic maps, by extracting terrain features like “peaks,” “pits,” “ridges...
