Weighted multi-visibility analysis on directional paths Şeker, Çağıl; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010) Visibility analysis is an important GIS tool that is used in a diverse array of disciplines ranging from earth sciences to telecommunications. Multi-visibility, as a cumulative type of visibility, combines many point-to-point results into a multi-value array. Points, lines, or areas can be used as sources or targets; and the combined values can be calculated in both ways. Through multi-visibility, a special 2.5D visibility value surface can be constructed over a digital elevation model. The effectiveness of...

Evaluation of glaciation and glacial shapes using geographic information systems and remote sensing (Eastern Black Sea) Geçen, Reşat; Toprak, Vedat; Tombul, Saadettin; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2011) This study investigates the actual glaciers and the major properties of glacial landscapes (valleys, cirques and lakes) located over the Eastern Black Sea mountain chain using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies. A database is created for each glacial feature that includes fundamental properties of each landscape. Data layers used in the study include digital and analog topographic maps, satellite images, geological maps and drainage maps. The studies carried out yielde...
