HelloFirst, thanks very much for developing and making available RBT, it's an
exciting project. I work a lot on a lowland anastomosing floodplain and
thought I'd give RBT a shot at some lidar DEMs of it. I was particularly
interested in the detrending tool, since detrending manually takes some
time. I realize you developed RBT with single channel systems in mind, but I
thought you might be interested in the results -they seemed promising but
not field ready, so to speak.
Overall, I was really impressed with how easy RBT was to set up and use,
and I hope you continue working on it.
I attached three images, one of the original dem (rbttest.jpg), one of the
bank and thalweg overlayed on the original (rbtbanks&thalweg.jpg), and one
of the RBT detrended dem (rbtdetrend.jpg)
Cheers,
Tom
