Abstract

In this paper, we propose the automatic generation method of digital elevation map based on contour map. The proposed method classifies contour data and non-contour data by thinning and labeling process of the contour line and then connects smoothly broken contour line by Bezier curve. Finally, the digital elevation map is generated by the interpolation using the height data of the contour line. The proposed method can reduce vest effort, time and expense which is spend to make digital elevation map.
