The extracted wind erosion obstacles are not only described by
their direct appearance in geometry, but also a 2D elongated
shadow region next to and in a known direction (e.g. northern
direction at noon) according to their height information. First
results of extracted wind erosion obstacles are quite satisfying
(Figure 11). As can be seen, most wind erosion obstacles are
extracted automatically, only one hedge (center of Figure 11) and
a few short tree rows (bottom right of Figure 11) are missing.
When compared with Figure 8, one can see that the line of the
missed hedge is extracted and linked successfully. This line is
grouped into the longer line because they are very close to each
other and the DSM information is not enough precise.
S. CONCLUSIONS
. An effective approach of extraction wind erosion obstacles to
enhance the Digital Soil Science Map of Lower Saxony
(Germany) by integrating GIS data, DSM and aerial imagery is
presented. Prior knowledge from GIS and DSM is essential to
facilitate the extraction of interested objects. The extracted wind
erosion obstacles are not only described by their direct
appearance in geometry, but also a 2D elongated shadow region
next to and in a known direction according to their height
information. All wind erosion obstacles are field boundaries or at
least parallel with a short distance in between. This information
can be integrated into the second process of extracting field
boundaries. Furthermore, the extracted wind erosion obstacles
can be used in many applications such as precision farming and
soil preservation.
Extraction of wind erosion obstacles by integrating separately
extracted field boundaries, orhthoimage (if available) and the data
already used in this paper will be our work in the near future. An
overall evaluation of separately extracted wind erosion obstacles
and field boundaries to improve the completeness and correctness
of the achieved results also need to be performed.
