Output: Streamline

 

The streamlines in the area.

 

DEM file

 

The DEM data of the area.

 

 

Algorithm: O'Callaghan and Mar

 

       Define Streams: Flow Accumulation >

 

       When the UDA of a pixel is larger than the threshold, the pixel is part of a streamline.

 

       Coding Method

 

       The way to label the streamlines.

 

 

 

Algorithm: Skidmore's (Skidmore, 1991)

 

       Upper Threshold

 

       The threshold to determine that a pixel is in a streamline.

 

       Lower Threshold

 

       The threshold to determine that a pixel is not a streamline.

 

 

 

Algorithm: Peucher and Douglas's ( Peucher and Douglas, 1975)

 

The methods all use local analysis of the data; they are “parallel” in the sense that the results at each point do not depend on the results already obtained at other points.
