Extraction of Surface Properties from a High Accuracy DEM Using Multiscale Remote Sensing Techniques

Research into understanding relationships between landscape pattern and process has been influenced by the introduction of fractal geometry and the advent of fractal analysis. With the increasing availability of high-resolution digital elevation data from increasingly larger areas of the Earth’s surface, together with advances in geocomputation and the field of geomorphometry, the concept of fr...

GIS Spatial Modeling of Landscape and Water Systems in GTA, Canada

Modeling landscape with high-resolution digital elevation data (DEM) in a geographic information system can provide essential morphological and structural information for modeling surface processes such as geomorphologic process and water systems. This paper introduces several DEM-based spatial analysis processes applied to characterize spatial distribution and interactions of ground and surfac...

J an 2 00 8 On statistical mechanics of a single particle in high - dimensional random landscapes ∗

We discuss recent results of the replica approach to statistical mechanics of a single classical particle placed in a random N(≫ 1)-dimensional Gaussian landscape. The particular attention is paid to the case of landscapes with logarithmically growing correlations and to its recent generalisations. Those landscapes give rise to a rich multifractal spatial structure of the associated Boltzmann-G...

New Results in Multifractal Traffic Analysis and Modeling

An alternative but very promising approach of traffic modeling is the use of fractal characterization to describe the high variability and bursty nature of network traffic. The aim of this dissertation is to contribute to this research approach, more precisely, to solve some problems in statistical testing, traffic characterization, modeling, and performance evaluation. First, the implications ...
