Abstract

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is essential data for research on global environment change and regional sustainable development. Aiming at the topographic characteristics of undulating hills,　using ARCVIEW software, the author selects typical test area and compares SRTM data with the DEM generated from 1:50000 and 1:100000 topographic maps. The result shows that SRTM data can present more detail in gentle slope area and lay out the shape of small channels. Topographic Index extracted by SRTM data is more similar with the actual land surface by giving the natural winding stream and low-lying marshes. Consequently, SRTM data contain more detail than 1:50000 topographically derived DEM.
