Gap Shape Classification using Landscape Indices and Multivariate Statistics
This study proposed a novel methodology to classify the shape of gaps using landscape indices and multivariate statistics. Patch-level indices were used to collect the qualified shape and spatial configuration characteristics for canopy gaps in the Lienhuachih Experimental Forest in Taiwan in 1998 and 2002. Non-hierarchical cluster analysis was used to assess the optimal number of gap clusters ...
متن کاملSuperordinate shape classification using natural shape statistics.
This paper investigates the classification of shapes into broad natural categories such as animal or leaf. We asked whether such coarse classifications can be achieved by a simple statistical classification of the shape skeleton. We surveyed databases of natural shapes, extracting shape skeletons and tabulating their parameters within each class, seeking shape statistics that effectively discri...
متن کاملRegionalization of landscape pattern indices using multivariate cluster analysis.
Regionalization, or the grouping of objects in space, is a useful tool for organizing, visualizing, and synthesizing the information contained in multivariate spatial data. Landscape pattern indices can be used to quantify the spatial pattern (composition and configuration) of land cover features. Observable patterns can be linked to underlying processes affecting the generation of landscape pa...
متن کاملNanoparticle shape evolution identified through multivariate statistics.
Precise morphological control of nanoparticles (NPs) has been impeded by the lack of in situ techniques enabling the observation of instantaneous growth steps. Fundamentally, understanding in NP nucleation and growth kinetics has yet to achieve. In the present research, morphological characterization is demonstrated using a novel image detection statistical approach for gold NPs. This multivari...
متن کاملNovel shape indices for vector landscape pattern analysis
The formation of an anisotropic landscape is influenced by natural and/or human 2 processes, which can then be inferred on the basis of geometric indices. In this 3 study, two minimal bounding rectangles in consideration of the principles of 4 mechanics (i.e. minimal width bounding (MWB) box and moment bounding 5 (MB) box) were introduced. Based on these boxes, four novel shape indices, 6 namel...
