Contour Line Tracing Algorithm for Digital Topographic ...
These contour lines are also used for generating Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for 3D surface generation from any satellite imagery or aerial photographs. This paper suggests an algorithm that can be used for tracing contour lines automatically from contour maps extracted from the topographical sheets and creating a database....

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) from Topographic Maps or ...
The process of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) creation begins with the scanned and geo-referenced topographic map (or nautical chart in the case of bathymetry). Contour Lines, spot elevations, coastlines and bodies of water from the raster image are extracted, converted to digital vectors and given elevation values....
Constructing a 3D Topographic Map - USGS
But mountains, canyons, or any feature with enough topographic relief will work. Get a topographic map of the feature you want to model. Digital topographic maps can be downloaded free by going to the USGS Store and clicking on "Map Locator" . Or you can order a paper topographic map from the same Web site....
Automatic Extraction of Contour Lines from Topographic Maps
Abstract: The automatic extraction of contour lines and generation of digital elevation models (DEMs) from topographic maps is one of the challenging subjects mostly because of aliasing, false colors, closely spaced lines and other features causing intersection or overlapping. In this paper we present an algorithm to extract contour lines from colored images of scanned topographic maps....
Vectorization of contour lines from scanned topographic maps
In this paper we propose a general method for contour recognition and DEM (Digital Elevation Models) generation from commercially available printed topographic maps. Automatic contour recognition of a scanned topographic map is a difficult problem due to the presence of closely spaced or broken contours, overlapping data layers and complexities ......
ARCH 201 - Contour Lines and Rhino Model - YouTube
This video describes how to trace contours from an image and then use them to create a solid topographical model. I then demonstrate how to generate new contours for drawings and digital fabrication.
Given a terrain, how to draw the stream flow path ...
In contour-based digital elevation models, lines of slope can be determined automatically by solving complex topographic structures using the (complex) model described in the following paper: Moretti, G., and S. Orlandini (2008), Automatic delineation of drainage basins from contour elevation data using skeleton construction techniques, Water ......
