以30m分辨率ASTERGDEM数据为基础,通过GIS空间分析和非监督分类的方法进行地貌基本类型的自动划分。研究结果表明:①ASTERGDEM数据能够满足1:10万比例尺下喀斯特区域的地表形态表达;②以流域为单位提取地形因子符合地貌发育的基本规律,提取的地形因子能客观的反应地表真实形态;③采用非监督分类法能够有效的实现1:10万比例尺下地貌基本形态的定量化、自动化分类。
Geomorphology is one of the most important parts which constitute the elements of physical geography.Based on the GDEM of 1∶100000 ASTER,the optimum analysis window was verified and topographic factors were extracted in the unit of drainage area.With GIS spatial analysis and unsupervised classification,the general geomorphologic types in Karst Region were auto-classified.The study results indicate:(1) DEM at the scale of 1∶100000 can fill the requirements to express the configuration of earth surface on meso-scale.(2) It confirms the basic regulation to select the analysis window and extract topographic factors taking the drainage area as a unit.Topographic factors extracted can reflect the actual configuration of earth surface more impersonally.(3) Multi-spectral image is combined with topographic factors.With the method of ISODATA unsupervised classification,it can implement the quantification of the general geomorphologic types and automatic classification effectively on meso-scale.The precision of the data extracted can meet the demands of computer automatic classification.These experimental results improve the application of ISODATA unsupervised classification in the automatic classification of geomorphology.
