An Automated Approach for Classifying Generic Terrain Features Using Digital Elevation Data

Abstract

The application of experimental SW to interface digital elevation data with knowledge representation and IP tools to automatically classify landforms. I will discuss classification theory, the terrain classification system I used in this work, the data and sites used to develop the classification method, the method itself, overall results, method limitations, and recommendations and finally conclusions.... Terrain features, Digital Elevation Data, Terrain Classification.
