Have a DTM. Am creating contour lines. Are there any tools in FME that can be used to identify any Depression Contours in the data?

@aron​ I would guess a depression is always a closed contour. So if the area and elevation of a contour is less than it's neighbour (NeighborFinder) then it's probably a depression. Probably doesn't pick up all cases but might be a start.


@Mark Stoakes​ Yes, that would catch some of the depressions. Would imagine that it would miss quite a few in alpine terrain though. It would probably be more effective to analyse the DTM, does FME have anything similar to SAGA Fill Sinks?
