Improved A* Algorithm for Mobile Robots under Rough Terrain Based on Ground Trafficability Model and Ground Ruggedness Model [PDF]
SensorsConsidering that the existing path planning algorithms for mobile robots under rugged terrain do not consider the ground flatness and the lack of optimality, which leads to the instability of the center of mass of the mobile robot, this paper proposes an

Terrain Ruggedness and Canopy Height Predict Short-Range Dispersal in the Critically Endangered Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2023 Dispersal is a fundamental aspect of primates’ lives and influences both population and community structuring, as well as species evolution. Primates disperse within an environmental context, where both local and intervening environmental factors affect all phases of dispersal.

Assessing SRTM one Arc second DEM accuracy for small dam volume-elevation curves using terrain metrics [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAccurate reservoir storage estimation is fundamental to sustainable water resources management; however, small dam projects are often hindered by the prohibitive costs and time required for high-precision topographic surveys.

Geomorphometric Analysis of Raster Image Data to detect Terrain Ruggedness and Drainage Density [PDF]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2003 We present an approach to identify some geomorphometrical characteristics of raster geo-images. The identification involves the generation of raster layers, topographic ruggedness and drainage density. The topographic ruggedness is used to express the amount of elevation difference between adjacent cells of Digital Elevation Model (DEM).
