针对常规格网DEM地形模拟的失真问题，借鉴面向对象技术，提出了“矢量化模拟，栅格化组织”方法，构建了融合地形场特征与对象特征为一体的特征嵌入式数字高程模型——F-DEM（features preserved—DEM）。

英文摘要：

A new DEM which is called features preserved Grid Digital Elevation（F-DEM） is proposed in this paper. The F-DEM is based on the ＂Vectorizing simulation and rasterizing organization＂ method and combines characteristics both of the terrain the physical objects by applying the object-oriented technology. Through abstractly describing terrain characteristics based on their morphology and seamlessly embedding terrain features information into general grid data with segmentation technology, F-DEMs not only can maintain the structural integrity of grid DEM, overcome the disadvantage of imprecision terrain description in some places containing break terrain features, but also can keep its efficiency of terrain simulation with preserved features, which is of critical significance to research high-fidelity DEMs.
