Characterizing rugged terrain in the United States [PDF]
, 2023 Mountains and other topographic features with variable elevation provide benefits to residents and visitors but may also impose barriers to travel and restrict economic development. ERS researchers develop two national representations of relative topographic variability for census tracts: the Area Ruggedness Scale characterizes overall ruggedness and ...

Rugged terrain, forest coverage, and insurgency in Myanmar
Conflict Management and Peace Science, 2023 This paper examines whether non-monotonic patterns exist between forest coverage and conflict processes in Myanmar. Specifically, the paper finds that forest coverage and civil conflict follow an inverted U-shaped relationship: conflict decreases at extremely low and high densities of forest coverage but increases at medium and somewhat high forest ...

The retrieval of land surface albedo in rugged terrain
2012 Second International Workshop on Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Applications, 2012 Land surface albedo may be derived from the satellite data through the estimation of a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model and angular integration. However many BRDF models do not consider explicitly the topography. In rugged terrain, the topography influences the observed surface reflectance, and varies the distribution of ...

Hopping sensor relocation in rugged terrains
2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2009 Hopping sensors are a type of low cost mobile sensors that are small in size, have limited capability and imprecise movement. However, their unique method of movement makes them suitable for rugged terrains. Sensors may fail when deployed in a rugged terrain or in an obstacle-abundant environment.

Heli‐borne gravity gradiometry in rugged terrain
Geophysical Prospecting, 2019ABSTRACTFor airborne gravity gradiometry in rugged terrain, helicopters offer a significant advantage over fixed‐wing aircraft: their ability to maintain much lower ground clearances. Crucially, this provides both better signal‐to‐noise and better spatial resolution than is possible with a fixed‐wing survey in the same terrain.

An Improved Land-Surface Albedo Algorithm With DEM in Rugged Terrain
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2014The influence of topography on land-surface bidirectional reflectance and albedo should be considered in rugged terrain. However, land-surface albedo algorithms neglect topographic effects, leading to errors in estimating the albedo in rugged terrain.

MQOne: Low-Cost Design for a Rugged-Terrain Robot Platform
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2015Rugged terrain robot designs are important for field robotics missions. A number of commercial platforms are available, however, at an impressive price. In this paper, we describe the hardware and software component of a low-cost wheeled rugged-terrain robot. The robot is based on an electric children quad bike and is modified to be driven by wire.
