- Abstract:
-
Three typical regions in China (North China Plain, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau) were selected as the study areas. ICESat/GLAS data were used as elevation control point data, SRTM 1 Arc-Second Global (SRTMGL1) and SRTM Version 4 (SRTM V4) data were used as precision evaluation data, and terrain and surface coverage factors were combined to synthesize the two DEMs in three typical regions. The accuracy of the zone was evaluated and compared. The results showed that: (1) in the three types of research areas, the accuracy of SRTMGL1 data was better than that of SRTM V4 data, of which the two DEMs in North China Plain were the best, and the two DEMs in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau were the worst; (2) the data accuracy of SRTMGL1 was better than that of SRTM V4 in different slope grading, and there was little difference between them in a small slope range; large slope and high vegetation coverage had great influence on SRTMGL1 accuracy attenuation; (3) the relative and absolute accuracy of the two DEMs varied with the topography in the four geomorphological regions; in terms of relative accuracy, the SRTMGL1 data elevation at the ridge points was larger than that of SRTM V4 data, and the SRTM V4 data at the valley points was larger than that of SRTMGL1 data; in terms of absolute accuracy, the difference profiles between the two DEMs and ICESat/GLAS control points changed significantly with the terrain; in the gentle terrain area, the amplitude of difference profiles was small, and the difference between the two DEMs was close; in the high undulating area, the amplitude of section lines was large, and the amplitude of SRTM V4 difference value curve was larger than that of SRTMGL1 profile curve; (4) in the study area of North China Plain and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the two DEM errors of high vegetation coverage area were the largest, while the errors of bare land and artificial surface were the smallest; in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the error of the glacier coverage area was the largest and the water area error was the smallest.
