Uncertainty of stream networks derived from elevation data

Published: Dec 23, 2009 by Tom Hengl

Short title: streams_error

A Sextante implementation of these algorithms called FlowTools can be obtained here (contributed by Daniel Nüst). The project report can be downloaded as a PDF. You can access the Eclipse project “flowTools” in the following public Subversion repository:

http://svn.xp-dev.com/svn/FlowTools/

You can also download an initial version (might be outdated!) of the project folder as a zip file (12).

Purpose and use:

Extraction of stream networks from a DEM using error propagation technique.

Programming environment: R / S language
Status of work: Public Domain
Reference: On the uncertainty of stream networks derived from elevation data: the error propagation approach
Data set name: Baranja hill
