Based on the needs that determination of resolution of the different cellsize DEM generated by DEM scaling, using histogram similarity method of calculation, the DEMs with different grid sizes compare to the DEMs of the topographic maps with different scales corresponding resolution to determine the DEM resolution generated by scaling. In this paper, four different similarity calculation method, L1 distance, L2 distance, χ2 distance, and the histogram intersection, experimental results show that the similarity calculation of the histogram can effectively determine the similarity of the DEM data to determine the DEM resolution. Four kinds of calculation, the L1 distance than the histogram intersection has a broader scope of application and more intuitive than the L2 distance and χ2 distance.
