Morphometric Mapping of Topography by Flowline Hachures

摘要: AbstractHachuring is a classic method of cartographic relief presentation that origins from perspective sketching the surface. Hachuring was developed into strict and mathematically grounded planimetric during eighteenth century. Established by Lehmann in 1799, topographic hachures flourished first half nineteenth century then were gradually replaced contours. Today, are still popular anthropogenic on archaeological maps. Some elements hachuring can be found geomorphometric hydrometeorological mapping, where flowlines arrows used to show intensity direction flow surface, or its aspect slope. The study aims reveal potential further development as surface method. Automated implementation all original requirements for hachure construction provided time new algorithm using vector flowlines. Then an advanced te...
