AbstractA terrain-based method using locally adaptive thresholds that adjust to slope and orientation of banks was tested to delineate lake and channel banks in the Mackenzie Delta, NWT, Canada. Results will contribute to an improved understanding of the local hydrology, the development of a hydraulic model and studies on subsidence impacts of planned natural gas extraction projects in the area. In addition to prevalent terrain-based methods that use point elevations alone, an approach based on using a water mask was tested. Water masks can improve the accuracy of terrain-based bank delineation by: (a) suppressing the effect of low signal-to-noise areas; and (b) prioritizing regions around existing water bodies that are most likely to contain sill points.
