Topographic Normalization in Rugged Terrain
Remote sensing of rugged terrain is hampered by topographic effects on spectral signatures. The purpose of this study was to attempt normalization of the topographic effect encountered when analyzing Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery in the Rocky Mountains. Two normalization techniques were performed on a subscene of a TM image of Rocky Mountain National Park. The first technique was a band ...
متن کاملOptimising Visibility Analyses Using Topographic Features on the Terrain
The advantages of using the fundamental topographic features of a surface namely the peaks, pits, passes, ridges and channels as the observers (viewpoints) in visibility computation is presented. Considerable time can be saved without any significant information loss by using the fundamental topographic features as observers in the terrain. This optimisation is achieved because of a reduced num...
متن کاملExtracting Topographic Terrain Features from Elevation Maps
Some applications such as the autonomous navigation in natural terrain and the automation of map making process require highlevel scene descriptions as well as geometrical representation of the natural terrain environments. In this paper, we present methods for building high level terrain descriptions, referred to as topographic maps, by extracting terrain features like “peaks,” “pits,” “ridges...
متن کاملTurbulence Characteristics along Several Towers*
Observations from several towers are used to show how measurements of wind arid.temperature near the surface can be used to estimate the variances of the horizontal velocity and the dissipation rate up to the top of the towers, provided the roughness length is known. The roughness length usually varies with wind direction, and the traditional methods of estimating it tend to lead to overestimat...
متن کاملProcessing Terrain Point Cloud Data
Terrain point cloud data are typically acquired through some form of Light Detection And Ranging sensing. They form a rich resource that is important in a variety of applications including navigation, line of sight, and terrain visualization. Processing terrain data has not received the attention of other forms of surface reconstruction or of image processing. The goal of terrain data processin...
