Abstract: A shadow detection and topography correction method based on DEM is proposed.Firstly,characteristic method is used to detect the shadow area in the satellite imagery.Then the shady slope and cast shadow area can be detected by model method using DEM data.The shadow is divided into 8 categories with the cause of formation.And then,the compensation method of shadow area and topography correction model are used to correct the optical remote sensing satellite imagery.The results suggest that the proposed method can recover the shadow area information effectively and weaken the effect of terrain.

Key words: topography correction, shadow detection, DEM, optical remote sensing satellite imagery
