Intermittent floodplain channels are low‐relief conduits etched into the floodplain surface and remain dry much of the year. These channels comprise expansive systems and are important because during low‐level inundation they facilitate lateral hydraulic connectivity throughout the floodplain. Nevertheless, few studies have focused on these floodplain channels due to uncertainty in how to identify and characterize these systems in digital elevation models (DEMs). In particular, their automatic extraction from widely available DEMs is challenging due to the characteristically low‐relief and low‐gradient topography of floodplains. We applied three channel extraction approaches to the Congaree River floodplain DEM and compared the results to a channel reference map created through numerous field excursions over the past 30 years. The methods that we tested are based on flow accumulation area, topographic curvature, and mathematical morphology, or the D8, Laplacian, and bottom‐hat transform (BHT), respectively. Of the 198 km of reference channels the BHT, Laplacian, and D8 extracted 83%, 71%, and 23%, respectively, and the BHT consistently had the highest agreement with the reference network at the local (5 m) and regional (10 km) scales. The extraction results also include commission “error”, augmenting the reference map with about 100 km of channel length. Overall, the BHT method provided the best results for channel extraction, giving over 298 km in 69 km2 with a detrended regional relief of 1.9 m. Further, these analyses allow us to shed light on the meaning and use of the term “low‐relief landscapes”.

低浮雕低坡洪泛区的断续通道系统:自动提取方法的比较

断续的洪泛区通道是蚀刻到洪泛区表面的浮雕导管,并在一年中的大部分时间保持干燥。这些通道包括膨胀系统,因此很重要,因为在低水位淹没期间,它们有助于整个洪泛区的横向水力连通。然而,由于在数字高程模型(DEM)中如何识别和表征这些系统的不确定性,很少有研究集中在这些漫滩地区。尤其是,由于洪泛区的特征在于低浮雕和低梯度地形,它们从广泛使用的DEM中自动提取具有挑战性。我们对康加里河漫滩DEM应用了三种渠道提取方法,并将结果与​​过去30年中通过多次野外旅行创建的渠道参考图进行了比较。我们测试的方法分别基于流量累积面积,地形曲率和数学形态学,或者分别基于D8,拉普拉斯算子和底帽变换(BHT)。在198公里的参考通道中,BHT,Laplacian和D8分别提取了83%,71%和23%,并且BHT始终与本地(5 m)和区域(10 m)的参考网络具有最高的一致性。公里)。提取结果还包括佣金“错误”,从而使参考地图增加了约100 km的通道长度。总体而言,BHT方法为信道提取提供了最佳结果,在69 km中提供了298 km以上的距离 D8和D8分别提取了83%,71%和23%,并且BHT在本地(5 m)和区域(10 km)尺度上始终与参考网络一致。提取结果还包括佣金“错误”,从而使参考地图增加了约100 km的通道长度。总体而言,BHT方法为信道提取提供了最佳结果,在69 km中提供了298 km以上的距离 D8和D8分别提取了83%,71%和23%,并且BHT在本地(5 m)和区域(10 km)尺度上始终与参考网络一致。提取结果还包括佣金“错误”,从而使参考地图增加了约100 km的通道长度。总体而言,BHT方法为信道提取提供了最佳结果,在69 km中提供了298 km以上的距离2个具有趋势的区域浮雕1.9 m。此外,这些分析使我们能够阐明“低浮雕景观”一词的含义和使用。
