摘要
Basin delineation is a major preliminary of hydrologic modeling and watershed management. An efficient method to delineate topographic basins from digital elevation models is presented. It is based upon mathematical morphology and it consists of two major steps. First, remove all the pits within the model by using an original morphological mapping, and second, delineate topographic basins by using morphological thinnings with specific structuring elements. The results are consistent with real terrain features. In a more general way, the proposed methodology illustrates the segmentation approach provided by the morphological watershed mapping. © 1990.
