Processing of satellite image data for the detection platform reef lagoons is intended as one geo-physical parameters landform. Panggang Island and Semakdaun were chosen to make model because they are ideal lagoon landforms tapulang court reefs. This only valid in continental shelf area back arc small island tectonic type. Determination this location done improve accuracy spectral-based process...

during an 11 days mission in february 2000 the shuttle radar topography mission (srtm) collected data over 80% of the earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees n and 56 degrees s latitude. since srtm data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. exploiting srtm data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...

New interferometric radar data of the TanDEM-X space mission have become recently available as a global digital elevation model providing 0.4 arc second spatial resolution (ca. 12 meters). The dataset brings new options into geoscientific research across multiple scales. However, accuracy and suitability this not been evaluated in such an extensive manner as, for example, widely used SRTM which...

The paper proposes an ancient landscape design as an example of graphic design for an age and place where no written documents existed. It is created by a network of earthworks, which constitute the remains of an extensive ancient agricultural system. It can be seen by means of the Google satellite imagery on the Peruvian region near the Titicaca Lake, as a texture superimposed to the backgroun...

introduction this research addresses the automatic extraction of alluvial fans using four methods of segmentation from satellite data. this segmentation method divides images into partitions. it is typically used to recognize objects or other relevant purposes in digital images (fu, 2013:3260). alluvial fans have always been a landform that attracts human because they are suitable areas for liv...

Geoscientists have become increasingly dependent on digital elevation models (DEMs) to delineate and measure landforms and landscapes. However, the DEM grid cell size available may not be the optimum resolution; this can mask subtle changes in measurements and lead to erroneous results. This paper presents a standardized statistical technique (i.e. statistical process control charts (SPCC)) for...

Abstract This study aims to create a terrain classification of Japan that allows both geomorphological and geoengineering classifications coexist without large contradictions distinguish landform elements even in urban plains which include noise associated with digital elevation models (DEMs). Because is susceptible natural disasters, we designed the reflect ground vulnerability alluvial mounta...
