Detecting complex building shapes in panchromatic satellite images for digital elevation model enhancement

open access: yes, 2010
In recent years Digital Elevation Models (DEM) gained much interest because of their high capability to give information about urban regions. DEM can be used or detailed urban monitoring, change and damage detection purposes.

Accuracy Assessment of Point Clouds from LiDAR and Dense Image Matching Acquired Using the UAV Platform for DTM Creation

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018
In this paper, the results of an experiment about the vertical accuracy of generated digital terrain models were assessed. The created models were based on two techniques: LiDAR and photogrammetry. The data were acquired using an ultralight laser scanner,

Urban object detection using a fusion approach of dense urban digital surface models and VHR optical satellite stereo data

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper we describe a new approach for the extraction of urban objects from very high resolution (VHR) optical stereo satellite imagery. Such data is delivered from sensors like Ikonos, QuickBird, GeoEye or WorldView-II.

A Vector Operation to Extract Second-Order Terrain Derivatives from Digital Elevation Models

open access: yes, 2020
Terrain derivatives exhibit surface morphology in various aspects. However, existing spatial change calculation methods for terrain derivatives are based on a mathematical scalar operating system, which may disregard the directional property of the ...

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

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

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)

Climatic drivers prevail in montane and lowland Odonata latitudinal diversity gradients, but human modification erodes lowland patterns

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

Evaluation of high quality topographic data for geomorphological and flood impact studies in upland area: North York Moors, UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A flash flood on 19th June 2005 caused more than one hundred landslides in the North-western North York Moors uplands, UK. This project aims to 1) assess digital elevation models (DEMs) in terms of statistical terrain analysis and 2) explore the ...
