Ocena przydatności automatycznego wyznaczania linii szkieletowych terenu do analiz geomorfometrycznych
Evaluate the usefulness of automatic extraction of terrain skeleton lines in geomorphometry research

Summary/Abstract: The aim of following article is to present and evaluate possibility of automatic extraction of terrain skeleton lines using computational methods from Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Authors describe examples of morphological analysis in geomorphology, difficulty and time-consuming of executing of this kind of research using traditional, manual methods. Topography map of quaternary ground of Lodz Region has been analyzed. Firstly terrain skeleton lines were traced using traditional ways. After that lines were generated and analyzed by using ArcGIS software with ArcHydro and SpatialAnalyst extensions. Both of received maps were compared and evaluated.
