[GRASS-user] 回覆： Re: ridge extraction from DEM

[Michael Barton]

Invert the DEM by multiplying all values by -1 and adding the maximum original height value. This makes the maximum height 0 and everything less than that increasingly greater than 0

Run r.watershed on the inverted DEM choosing stream segments as output.

The stream segments from the inverted DEM are your ridgelines. You can keep them in raster or thin them (r.thin) and convert them to vector (r.to.vect).

I've copied the GRASS user list again because this is a general question that others might be interested in.
