Özet:

 


DEMs (Digital Elevation Model) generated with different remote sensing techniques and technologies are used to determine the changes of vegetation in forests depending on topographical factors. The accuracy of DEMs has a major impact on the planning and management of forests.

In this study, the accuracy of two different DEM data sources, which are frequently used in the modeling of topographic changes in large field studies in forestry, was compared with the LiDAR-based DEM dataset on a forest site. In this context, three different DEM source were used. One of them was the 10 m interval contour lines of 1:25,000 scale aerial photogrammetry based standard topographical maps which are produced by National General Directorate of Mapping. Topomap contour lines are transformed to grid based DEMs by using TIN and ANUDEM based approaches at 2.5, 5, 10 and 30 m resolutions. The other data was ASTER GDEM (1 arc-second ASTER GDEM Version 2, approximately 30 m resolution). The final and reference data is the LiDAR based, 0.25 m resolution DEM. In total, 33 DEM datasets are compared with the LiDAR-based DEM dataset. For these data sets, five difference metrics were calculated: pixel based difference models, the areal and volumetric difference of surface models, the areal difference of slope classes and the areal difference of aspect classes. According to the results of the analysis, the resolution, according to the topographic characteristics of the area and selected interpolation approaches has an effect on DEM modeling and DEM –derived metrics. In addition, the forest structure has a major impact on the accuracy of ASTER GDEM data.
