Morphological analysis on the planform migration structure of meandering river is an important basis for the reconstruction of evolution of paleochannel. Besides, it is a significant method for restoration of rivers through the important historical record of migration processes (Blum et al., 2013;Lin et al., 2017;Kasvi et al., 2017). Despite large numbers of literatures from both modern and ancient depositional systems of fluvials, analyzing the dynamic geomorphology evolution of meandering rivers remains a challenge (Willis and Tang, 2010).
