Haralick, R.M., Wang, S., and Elliott, D.B.,
Spatial Reasoning to Determine Stream Network from LANDSAT Imagery,
ICPR82(502-514). This paper uses a lot of different other algorithms to do the basic processing but finally determines surface orientations which can give ridge and valley locations. The basic processing is to eliminate effects of known LANDSAT noise, use ratios of images to classify into any number of classes, use the classes to determine regions of the same object, use the intensity average for a class to get the average intensity, the rest is caused by the surface orientation differences. Darker and brighter regions are slopes, these then give valleys and ridge lines. Then compute approximate elevation data from the slopes. It produces interesting results.
