<div dir="ltr">In cases of cliffs and such (i.e. sudden drops in altitude), traditional photogrammetric softwares like PCI and Erdas work with break lines, as in, you literally draw a line along edges you want computed discontinuously. That is not really practical to do in command-line GDAL, though you could import a previously created line vector and tell the algorithm to process with those in mind. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-10-20 16:18 GMT-02:00 Andrew C Aitchison <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew@aitchison.me.uk" target="_blank">andrew@aitchison.me.uk</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Fri, 20 Oct 2017, Vincent Mora wrote:<br>

I'll also try the gdal_polygonize approach, but I don't think it's the<br>
same thingl: with raster-classif + gdal_polygonize, if you have 3<br>
classes 1,2,3 polygons from 1 can touch a polygon from 3, with contour<br>
lines there will always be a polygon of class 2 in between.<br>
<br>
Or am I missing something.<br>

If someone believes I'm doing something useless and/or stupid (that also<br>
happens), please do tell.<br>

Can you polygonize contours across a vertical cliff ?<br>
If so, 2 may be "between" 1 and 3, but at some points they may all touch.<br>
<br>
On some maps, contours become discontinuous around cliffs and quarries.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
