A RAPID AND HIGH-PRECISION MOUNTAIN VERTEX EXTRACTION METHOD BASED ON HOTSPOT ANALYSIS CLUSTERING AND IMPROVED EIGHT-CONNECTED EXTRACTION ALGORITHMS FOR DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS

A Rapid and High-Precision Mountain Vertex Extraction Method Based on Hotspot Analysis Clustering and Improved Eight-Connected Extraction Algorithms for Digital Elevation Models

Digital Elevation Model (DEM)-based mountain vertex extraction is one of the most useful DEM applications, providing important information to properly characterize topographic features.Current vertex-extraction techniques have considerable limitations, such as yielding low-accuracy results and generating false mountain vertices.To overcome these li
