    摘要: A method and system for calculating a digital terrain model (DIM) for a target portion of the surface of the Earth. A digital elevation model (DEM) for the target portion specifies an elevation for target points on the Earth within the portion. A digital surface model (DSM) specifies the elevation above the target point of an obstructing surface. Elevation errors in the DEM are corrected. A curvature correction is done using the DSM. A model is calibrated using reference points using statistical techniques or machine learning. A model using reference points for predicting the amount of local elevation correction needed at each target point as a function of terrain curvature is employed. The models are applied at each target point of the DEM to produce the DTM.

    摘要: A large-scale forest height remote sensing retrieval method includes: acquiring Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESAT-2) tree height data, Landsat data, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data, Worldclim data, forest type data and ecological zoning data within a target zone, and preprocessing the data; carrying out georeferencing on the processed data to generate a first data set; calculating spectral features, terrain features and climatic factor features of an image, and combining the calculated features with the ecological zoning data and the forest type data to obtain a second data set; extracting eigenvalues of a same geographical location from the second data set, and combining the extracted eigenvalues with the tree height data to generate training data; constructing a random forest model covering a large zone as an ecological zoning tree height retrieval model, and dividing the obtained training data into a training sample and a verification sample.
