在地理绘图中,我们使用的DEM数据添加山体阴影使得绘制的图件显得更加的美观。
GIS中使用ArcGIS软件就可以达到这一目的,或者使用GMT,同样可以得到山体阴影的效果。
本文提供了一个MATLAB的函数,可以得到山体阴影。

其中调用的函数 hillshade_esri.m如下:
function h = hillshade_esri(dem,X,Y,varargin)
% PUPROSE: Calculate hillshade for a digital elevation model (DEM) based on
% the algorithm posted on http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.2/net/shared/geoprocessing/spatial_analyst_tools/how_hillshade_works.htm
% -------------------------------------------------------------------
% USAGE: h = hillshade_esri(dem,X,Y,varagin)
% where: dem is the DEM to calculate hillshade for
% X and Y are the DEM coordinate vectors
% varargin are parameters options
%
% OPTIONS:
% 'azimuth' is the direction of lighting in deg (default 315)
% 'altitude' is the altitude of the lighting source in
% in degrees above horizontal (default 45)
% 'zfactor' is the DEM altitude scaling z-factor (default 1)
% 'plotit' creates a simple plot of the hillshade
%
% EXAMPLE:
% h=hillshade_esri(peaks(50),1:50,1:50,'azimuth',45,'altitude',100,'plotit')
% - calculates the hillshade for an example 50x50 peak surface.
% - changes the default settings for azimuth and altitude.
% - creates an output hillshade plot
% See also: GRADIENT, CART2POL
%
% Note: Uses ESRIs hillshade algorithm, the output will be the same as the
% output with ArcGIS Hillshade Function.

其中有三个参数可以修改:azimuth=315;altitude=45;zf=1;
1.修改 azimuth,the direction of lighting in deg,下图的变化范围为0:360:
2.修改 altitude,the altitude of the lighting source in degrees above horizontal,下图变化范围为0:180:
3.修改 zf,the DEM altitude scaling z-factor ,下图变化范围为1:50:
