Fast approximation of visibility dominance using topographic features as targets and the associated uncertainty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
An approach to reduce visibility index computation time andmeasure the associated uncertainty in terrain visibility analysesis presented. It is demonstrated that the visibility indexcomputation time in mountainous terrain can be reduced substantially ...

Quantitative muscle architecture in large carnivorous marsupials (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) and links to substrate use and prey processing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dasyurid species Sarcophilus harrisii, Dasyurus maculatus, and Dasyurus viverrinus, occupying diverse ecological niches and forming a guild structure in Tasmania, provide a basis for examining the roles of various forelimb muscle groups in prey capture and locomotion.

Use of plan curvature variations for the identification of ridges and channels on DEM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper proposes novel improvements in the traditional algorithms for the identification of ridge and channel (also called ravines) topographic features on raster digital elevation models (DEMs). The overall methodology consists of two main steps: (1)

Pelvic breadth and juvenile locomotor energetics: Implications for the obstetrical dilemma hypothesis across human growth in past and present humans

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The obstetrical dilemma hypothesis (ODH) proposes an evolutionary trade‐off between obstetric requirements and locomotor performance. However, whether external pelvic breadth measures influence walking energetics during human growth remains poorly understood.

Complexity modeling and sensitivity analysis considering topographic features

open access: yesGeocarto International
Due to the absence of a standardized terrain complexity definition, representative landform areas were selected. The correlation coefficients of the terrain factors were calculated using 30-metre Copernicus digital elevation model (DEM) data, and optimal

Leveraging Big Multitemporal Multisource Satellite Data and Artificial Intelligence for the Detection of Complex and Invisible Features: The Case of Extensive Irrigation Mapping

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of buried or obscured archaeological features remains a central challenge in landscape archaeology, particularly in the irrigated floodplains of Mesopotamia where levees and canals formed the basis of complex agrarian systems. This study presents a deep learning–based approach for the large‐scale, automated detection of ancient ...

DSM derived stereo pair photogrammetry: Multitemporal morphometric analysis of a quarry in karst terrain

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2016
Bukit Merah karst has been deteriorating dramatically over 40 years due to intensification of human activities as a result of fast rate of lateral urbanization and extensive dimensional expansion of surface mining activities for instance, quarrying ...

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Large-scale relief of the Slovak Karst and Aggtelek Karst (Gömör-Torna/Gemer-Turňa Karst) - a DEM-based study

open access: yesHungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2011
The surface of the Gömör–Torna/Gemer–Turňa Karst (GTK) was largely formed by Pannonian or Pliocene pediplanation. Although this surface has been dissected by subsequent tectonic and fluvial processes, the present karst plateaus still preserve large ...

Orientation Angle Estimation Over Forested Terrain Using P-band POLSAR Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
One important secondary objective of the proposed Earth- Explorer Candidate Mission BIOMASS is the retrieval of a digital terrain model (DTM) using satellite-borne P-band SAR data.
