Possibility of using of the spectral geomorphometric variables for automatic landform types classification was estimated. The area of our interest - European part of the Russian sector of Arctic region. There are four main types of landforms with exogenic origin on the territory: 1) glacial and 2) glaciofluvial accumulative terrains, 3) ridges and hills terrain from glacial exaration, 4) wave terrain from glacial exaration. These landforms types cover from 55% to 80% in the different parts of the area of interest. A few of spectral geomorphometric variables were computed by sampled 2D discrete Fourier transform of DEM by 10*10 km moving window. We use follow spectral variables for landform type recognition: 1) magnitude of the main wave in the heigth field, 2) wavelength of the main wave, 3) importance (share of the heigth variation) of the fix pool (often 1%) of biggest harmonic waves, 4-5) general direction (and its significance) of the height oscillations, 6-7) coefficients of the exponential trend equation for approximation wave magnitudes distribution. We compare five techniques for classification: 1-2) linear (LDA) and quadratic (QDA) discriminant analysis, 3) support vector machine (SVM), 4-5) classification tree (CT) and random forest (RF). It has been get that the efficiencies of the techniques (on the initial training data) are sorted respectively: 0.99 (RF), 0.62(SVM), 0.58 (CT), 0.5 (LDA), 0.45 (QDA) . This values are given versus random guessing (around 0.25). That mean the RF (for example) explained 99% of multidimensional variance. For the control data (new 20 samples of each landform types) resulting accuracies are comparable.
