For the vast amounts of spectra produced by the sky survey projects like SDSS, LAMOST, Gaia etc, the accurate stellar fundamental parameters (Teff, log g, [Fe/H]) will play key role for their scientific objects. The popular parameterization methods for low-resolution spectra include template matching, ANN, line indices methods etc. Most of these methods usually use whole spectrum information. And the methods using spectral lines information are mainly line indices. According to the characteristic of the low-resolution spectra, automated spectra analysis methods basing on the spectra lines information will be studied in this work. 1) spectral lines extraction; 2) lines information temple; 3) the selective strategies of the spectral lines which are sensitive to the parameters; 4)regression model between spectral lines and parameters.

Popular methods generally consist of three types: parameter calibrations based on photometric color indices; parameter calibrations based on absorption line indices; template matching or statistical learning methods that use spectroscopy. color indices and line indices: generally applied, robust, may lose information. Complete spectrum with template matching: easy to use, difficult for continuum normalization, …

The same wavelength coverage of SDSS and LAMOST ranging from 300 nm to 1000 nm, and are decreased from high-resolution spectra to a resolution of R=2000 with a 0.1 nm wavelength sampling step. The microturbulence velocity is held constant at 2.0 km/s 4697 spectra 4600K~8000K Steps of 200 K for cool stars, while 500 K for warm stars. The log g parameter ranges from 0.0 dex to 5.0 dex in steps of 0.2 dex, and the metallicity [Fe/H] ranges from 0.0 dex to 4.8 dex in steps of 0.3 dex.

Summary: Good Teff and metallicity estimation with Lick line information. Log g not good, but the scatter of the error is similar with the method with whole spectrum information. More line information to be included, such as H_alpha, Ca II tri. .
