Relief relative to a local elevation maximum provided a strong indicator of inundation dynamics (i.e., hydroperiod), but was less useful for mapping wetland boundaries. Combining local relief and an Enhanced Topographic Wetness Index produced a map that was well suited for mapping wetland extent and hydroperiod. Wetlands mapped using aerial photographs or LiDAR-derived digital elevation models ...

extended abstractintroductiona map is a drawing ground features on one side of the paper. the cartographic maps are representations of the earth upon a flat surface in the smaller scale than it’s true. large scale maps cover relatively small regions in great detail and small scale maps cover large regions such as nations, continents and the whole globe. logical connection between the features a...

Autonomous Cross-Country Navigation requires planning algorithms which supports rapid traversal of challenging terrain while maintaining vehicle safety. The central theme of the work is the implementation of a planning system which solves this problem. The planning system uses a recursive trajectory generation algorithm, which generates spatial trajectories and then heuristically modifies them ...

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used to estimate different morphologies, analysis of river profile, delineating drainage basin and drainage pattern associated with lithological and structural changes. The study area is Maroon River located in Khuzestan Province, Iran. In this study geomorphometric analysis based on DEM carried out to understand Maroon river uplift rate and tectonic- erosion...

We present a set of procedures to extract useful information from maps of cities in order to help in interpreting aerial images. The aim of this work is to combine semantic information issued from the map with the raw information coming from a picture. Several cues can be extracted from maps. The road network gives the structure of the city and cut the scene in small but coherent regions: the u...

abstract aim of this research is landslide hazard zoning in syahdare watershed using logistic regression. therefore, outset landslide points recognized using air photography and extensive field studies. then distribution of landslide map was makes. then each effective element on landslide occurred for example slope, aspect, elevation, litho logy, land use, distance of road, distance of drainage...

This paper describes a new method for hypsometric tinting for small-scale maps. The method generalises digital elevation models by removing small unnecessary details and accentuating major valleys and ridgelines. The elevation data are filtered with lower and upper quartile filters that are combined using a drainage network. The lower quartile filter is applied in valleys, delimited by the drai...

purpose: to evaluate agreement between galilei, orbscan ii, and placido disk-based topography in terms of keratometry readings, and anterior and posterior elevation. methods: in this prospective comparative study, 184 eyes of 92 keratorefractive surgery candidates were evaluated with galilei, orbscan ii, and placido disk-based topography. keratometry readings and anterior and posterior elevatio...
