A progressive black top hat transformation algorithm for estimating valley volumes on Mars

Luo, Wei; Jung, Jaehoon; Pingel, Thomas +2 more

The depth of valley incision and valley volume are important parameters in understanding the geologic history of early Mars, because they are related to the amount sediments eroded and the quantity of water needed to create the valley networks (VNs). With readily available digital elevation model (DEM) data, the Black Top Hat (BTH) transformation,…
