MAT: GIS-Based Morphometry Assessment Tools for Concave Landforms

SISI Project: Developing GIS-Based Tools for Vulnerability Assessment

In the framework of a wider research project, aimed at developing an high performance computing infrastructures in Southern Italy, the SISI project aims at developing customized GIS tools for vulnerable site selection in Italian territory. Vulnerable sites will be defined based on co-presence of different dangerous/vulnerable geographic features in given areas. Morphological and topological cri...

Interactive tools for morphometry in

We describe algorithms for measuring the thickness of neuron processes and the shape of neuron cell bodies. The design of these tools follows a \semi-automatic" approach. Image processing tools that would fail when applied to the whole image can produce very useful results if the user connnes them by hand to small parts of the image, and if the user is given the opportunity to undo or correct t...

Machine Learning Tools for Automatic Mapping of Martian Landforms

Express. These orbiters are surveying the entire Martian surface to understand the planet’s past and the geological, climatic, and other processes responsible for its present state. They gather ever-increasing amounts of spatially extended data. Science data archived from all planetary missions prior to the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission totals approximately 5 terabytes. NASA expects that number to ...

DEM and GIS based morphometric and topographic- profile analyses of Danxia landforms

“Danxia landform” is a landform type originally defined in China, characterized by red-colored sandstones and steep cliffs, and developed through long-term erosion. In recent years, Danxia landforms have been receiving international attention, and six examples in China became a UNESCO World Natural Heritage in 2010. However, morphometric studies of Danxia landforms in China have been very limit...
