Optimal Statistical Unit for Relief Amplitude in Southwestern China
[Objective] The objective of this article is to determine the best statistical unit to extract and classify the relief amplitude of Southwestern China
and then the characteristics of the amplitude structure and the classification of geomorphologic structure can be determined.[Methods] Based on ASTER GDEMv2 data and through Python module programming
the average relief amplitude in the Southwestern China and the typical experimental areas was extracted at n×n windows (n=2

and the best window area was calculated by the mean change point method.[Results] ① 2.43 km2 was the optimal statistical unit for extracting amplitude relief in the study area. ② Fluctuation of terrain was moderate and low in the study area
with the relief amplitude between 200 m to 500 m having the highest proportion (38.68%)
and that between 500 m to 1 000 m accounting for 23.58%. ③ As for the spatial distribution
the relief amplitude of the middle region was generally higher than that of other regions
followed by the southeast
lower in the northwest and northeast.[Conclusion] The method
computing relief amplitude with optimum statistical unit of 2.43 km2
conformed to the regional terrain characteristics and balanced the various landform types.
