Based on DEM and remote sensing data, this paper proposes a new method for extracting alluvial fan by determining the fan apex point, leading edge points and side edge points. Firstly, the fan apex point is determined by hydrological analysis. Secondly, the fan leading edge points are determined by DEM elevation fitting curve according to the obvious slope break at the boundary of alluvial fan and alluvial plain. Finally, the side edge points are interpreted by DEM elevation fitting curve and remote sensing data. Taking the eastern foot of Helan Mountain as a study case, the authors detected that the alluvial fans extracted by the proposed method are more objective and stable than visual interpretation from available studies. Moreover, this method can extract the alluvial fan more effectively under the complex condition with vegetation coverage and human activities, which is difficult for visual interpretation. The method is significant for alluvial fan extraction and also for the research on landform and sedimentary characteristics of alluvial fan.
