Introducing a Novel Digital Elevation Model Using Artificial Neural Network Algorithm

Abstract

Elevation is a basic information of the earth, and different elevation models are provided to better understanding the earth and its different functions. However, it is not always possible to conduct a comprehensive survey in big areas and calculate all surface points. The best way is survey some points, then the elevation estimation is done using these points in each part of study area. The purpose of this paper is to use interpolation methods to estimate elevation. In such cases, different methods are used to interpolate and estimate points with an uncertain height. In this paper, the three usual methods are chosen and introduced then their performance are compared. These methods including: Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), the Krige method or Kriging, and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The results show that Artificial Intelligence with RMS = 5.9m is better in compare to Kriging with RMS = 7.2 and IDW with RMS = 9. The obtained result presents that in despite of its convenience, ANN provides DEMs with minimum errors.

Predicting Traffic Data in GIS using Different Neural Network Methods

“…Bayesian neural network is a neural network-based method, which is used to model nonlinear and complex problems through statistical methods (Behzadi & Jalilzadeh, 2020;Zhang & Mahadevan, 2020). In this step, the Nonlinear Input-Output method is used, which is a problem-solving method for predicting time series.…”

Identification and Separation of Rice Fields Using Remote Sensing

“…In the north of Iran, most of the rice fields are cultivated in areas with slopes and low altitudes. According to the studies of the agricultural development plan of the Haraz catchment area, the height up to 100 meters is considered the plain area, from 100 to 500 meters above sea level is considered the intermediate area, and the height above 1100 meters is considered as the mountainous area (Behzadi and Jalilzadeh, 2020;. Based on this, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was prepared, and using it, the areas with a height higher than 1000 meters were removed (Figure 6).…”

Designing a Commercial Location-Based System to Serve Customers Based on Gis

“…Allocation Algorithm: To do the allocation processing, the product list is sent to the processing unit. Before processing begins, the list of products is first stored in an array, so that each element in this array represents one of the products in the list, then to allocate selected stores, the algorithm is applied to this array (Behzadi, 2020;Behzadi and Jalilzadeh, 2020;Mousavi and Behzadi, 2019b). It can be said that its implementation steps are as follows:…”
