- Abstract:
-
Based on the 90-m resolution SRTM DEM data, the relief amplitude of Shanxi Province was extracted with the neighborhood analysis method at different neighborhood windows(2×2, 3×3, 4×4, …, 30×30), the best statistical unit was calculated by using the artificial drawing method, maximum elevation difference method, fuzzy mathematics method, mean change-point analysis method and cumulative sum analysis method, the accuracy and applicability of statistical unit calculation methods was analyzed, and the best statistical unit of relief amplitude in Shanxi Province was determined. The results indicate that the mean change-point analysis method and cumulative sum analysis method are more effective than the artificial drawing method, maximum elevation difference method and fuzzy mathematics method, the best statistical units of the mean change-point analysis method and cumulative sum analysis method are 11×11 (0.980 1 km2) and 14×14 (1.587 6 km2), respectively. The mean change-point analysis method is one of the best ideal methods to calculate the best statistical unit. The best statistical unit is different between different DEM data types and different resolution DEM for the same area.
