Abstract: For the problems of using UAV technology to obtain ground points and DEM in mountainous area with large fluctuation and dense vegetation, a method combining cloth simulation filtering algorithm and improved local maximum algorithm is proposed.This method uses vegetation information such as tree vertices and tree heights to extract ground points, and then generates DEM for the entire area.In this paper, Dehang village, a traditional village, is taken as an example. The point cloud is divided into two parts:dense vegetation area and non-dense vegetation area by vegetation coefficient and elevation information.In non-dense vegetation area, the cloth simulation filtering algorithm and improved local maximum algorithm are used to extract ground points,tree vertices and calculate the average tree height; in dense vegetation area, the approximate ground point of the dense vegetation area is calculated from the vertex of the tree in the area, and finally perform TIN interpolation on the two parts of the ground point cloud to get the DEM of the area. The experimental results show that the root mean square error of DEM generated by this method can reach 0.037 m in non-dense vegetation areas, 1.606 m in dense vegetation areas, and the overall average error can reach 1.492 m. The overall accuracy is good, which can basically meet the needs of spatial analysis at the village scale.
