英文摘要	A robust estimator based on the M-estimation principle (REMP) has been developed for digital elevation model (DEM) accuracy assessment. Adaptive weights were employed to respond to a broad class of DEM error distributions, and an iterative procedure in terms of REMP starting from robust initial estimates with a high breakdown point was introduced. Original DEMs with the resolution of 2 m were obtained by means of light detection and Ranging (LiDAR) from two study sites. DEM errors in each study site were, respectively, calculated based on 100 checkpoints captured by real-time kinematic (RTK) in terms of stratified random sampling strategy. Each group of DEM errors was, respectively, contaminated by five groups of outliers from different distributions. Thus, ten groups of simulated DEM errors were employed to comparatively assess the estimation accuracies of REMP and the classical estimators. The results indicated that under the non-normal distribution of DEM errors, the classical non-robust estimators are seriously influenced by the non-normality. Some robust estimators such as 10%-trimmed or Winsorized mean and normalized median absolute deviation (MADN) are not very robust to resist the influence of outliers. REMP, slightly affected by the non-normal distribution of DEM errors, is more accurate than the classical estimators. The robust methodology can adapt to the DEMs, especially the ones derived from remote sensing such as LiDAR or digital photogrammetry in non-open terrain.
