Abstract: Aiming at the problems of special application scenarios, special data type, uncertain boundary of topographic forms and differences in topographic scale cognition which exist in the division of TIN_DDM topographic forms and continuous scale representation, the paper has brought forward the algorithm about division of TIN_DDM topographic forms and continuous scale representation based on rolling ball transformation. Based on the analysis of the principle of rolling ball transformation construction, by excavating the potential of rolling ball transformation in terrain recognition, the algorithm designs the criteria of determining the topographic type of TIN_DDM point. Aiming at the problem that the criteria can’t be applied in the continuous scale representation of topography, by analyzing the numerical correlation between rolling ball contact point and rolling ball radius, the critical rolling ball radius of the contact state between TIN_DDM point and rolling ball changing is calculated, the rolling ball transformation for the continuous scale representation of TIN_DDM topography is built. The experiments show that the algorithm can quickly realize the automatic division and continuous scale representation of topographic forms with rolling ball as scale factor.

Key words: TIN_DDM, rolling ball transformation, terrain classification, continuous scale representation
