Comparison of Methods for Determining Catchment Area Threshold for Water System Extraction by ZHENG Jiawei, CHEN Xingwei, LI Xiaocheng, RUAN Weifang

“…Most of the methods using digital elevation models (DEM) to extract water systems require the determination of catchment area thresholds.For a better understanding of the rationality and applicability of several commonly used determination methods of the catchment area threshold for water system extraction,the distance error between the real river source and the extracted one is used as a criterion to determine the rationality of the real water system extraction methods.Four main methods,namely,the drainage density method,the water-system fractal dimension method,the method of the minimum error at the river source,and the channel branching ratio method,are selected,and the Jinjiang River Basin on the southeast coast is taken as an example.The distance errors between the extracted river sources by different methods and the real river sources are compared.The results show that the visual discrimination of the catchment area threshold used by the drainage density method,water-system fractal dimension method,and channel branching ratio method has a large uncertainty,and the distance errors are large.In the method of the minimum error at the river source,the catchment area threshold is determined according to the minimum distance error between the extracted river source and the real one,which is unique.Hence,it is a more reasonable method among the four DEM-based real water system extraction methods.…”

New extension method of trusted certificate chain in virtual platform environment by Liang TAN, Neng QI, Lingbi HU

“…When using trusted computing technology to build a trusted virtual platform environment,it is a hot problem that how to reasonably extend the underlying physical TPM certificate chain to the virtual machine environment.At present,the certificate trust expansion schemes are not perfect,either there is a violation of the TCG specifications,or TPM and vTPM certificate results inconsistent,either the presence of key redundancy,or privacy CA performance burden,some project cannot even extend the certificate trust.Based on this,a new extension method of trusted certificate chain was proposed.Firstly,a new class of certificate called VMEK (virtual machine extension key) was added in TPM,and the management mechanism of certificate VMEK was constructed,the main feature of which was that its key was not transferable and could be used to sign and encrypt the data inside and outside of TPM.Secondly,it used certificate VMEK to sign vTPM’s vEK to build the trust relationship between the underlying TPM and virtual machine,and realized extension of trusted certificate chain in virtual machine.Finally,in Xen,VMEK certificate and its management mechanism,and certificate trust extension based on VMEK were realized.The experiment results show that the proposed scheme can effectively realize the remote attestation function of virtual platform.…”
