A System With Intelligence Editing for Extracting Ridge and Ravine Terrain Features

Abstract

Technologies for collecting digital terrain data, such as satellite imaging, continue to advance at a rapid pace, which is making an ever-increasing amount of terrain data available for a wide variety of applications. Many of these applications require specific features of the data, such as rivers, ravines, forested areas, etc., to be extracted and labeled. Developing an application-specific feature extraction system is difficult, and these systems usually require supervision by a highly skilled analyst. This motivates the considerable amount of work that has been performed in the terrain feature extraction field.
