摘    要:地貌分类在指导人类建设活动的规模与布局中有着重要的意义。然而,传统的基于数字高程模型(DEM)的地貌分类方法使用的地形因子和考虑到的地貌特征往往比较单一。本文提出了一种基于流域单元的地貌分类方法,该方法考虑了流域单元的多方面特征,包括基本地形因子统计量、地形特征点线统计量、小流域特征和纹理特征。本研究首先基于DEM进行水文分析将研究区域划分成不同的小流域。然后利用数字地形分析提取29个不同方面的特征来表征流域的形态,并基于随机森林(RF)算法进行了特征选择和参数标定。RF是一种基于决策树算法的集成分类器,能有效地处理高维数据,分类精度高。最后选择训练集小流域对RF分类器进行训练,使用训练完成的分类器对整个研究区域的地貌进行分类,研究地貌分异的规律。该实验在我国陕北黄土高原典型黄土地貌区域的地貌分类中取得了较好的结果,结果表明不同的地貌之间存在明显的区域界线,特定的地貌类型在空间上表现出明显的聚集性。通过人工判读进行验证的分类精度达到了85%,Kappa系数为0.83。

Abstract:Landform classification is one of the most important steps tor eveal the mechanisms of surface matter flows and energy conversion, which could inform the scale and layout of human construction activities. However, traditional landform classification methods based on Digital Elevation Model (DEM) often use a small number of topographical derivatives or landform characteristics, resulting in insufficiently precise classification results. However, object-oriented landform classification performs better in that reliable classification can be achieved by maximizing the homogeneity within and between objects. But how to set conditions in object segmentation remains a challenge. In this paper, a geomorphological classification method based on watershed unitwas proposed, by accounting for many characteristics of watershed unit including statistics of basic topographic factors, feature point and feature line, basin and texture characteristics. Firstly, hydrological analysis based on DEM divided the study area into different small basins as the experimental units. Then, 29 features were extracted within each unit to represent watershed morphology using digital terrain analysis; feature selection and parameter calibration were carried out based on Random Forest (RF) algorithm. RF is a supervised integrated learning model aggregating different outputs of a single decision tree to reduce variances that may lead to classification errors in the decision tree. Finally, the watersheds in training set were selected to train the RF classifier, and the trained classifier was used to classify the landform of the whole study area, based on which we studied the landform spatial differentiation pattern. This experiment achieved good results in the landform classification of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi Province. It is one of the areas with the most serious soil erosion and the most fragile eco-environment in the world. Most of them are covered by thick loess, and the topography is fluctuant. Result shows: (1) Compared with manual interpretation, excellent classification results based on small watershed in the study area were obtained, with the classification accuracy reaching 85% and the Kappa coefficient 0.83. (2)All small watersheds were divided into eight types of landforms. The same type of landforms showed obvious spatial aggregation. There were boundaries and transitional zones between different types of landforms. (3) Different geomorphological regions explained different situations of loess deposition and runoff erosion in different regions. Our findings suggest that the combination of RF algorithm and DEM data can achieve better classification results.
