Terrain as a continuum can be categorized into landform units that exhibit common physical and morphological characteristics of land surface which may serve as a boundary condition for a wide range of application domains. However, heterogeneous views, definitions, and applications on landforms yield incompatible nomenclature that lacks interoperability. Yet, there is still room for developing methods for classification of land surface into landforms that can provide different disciplines with a basis of landscape description that is also commonsense to human insight.

Object-based classification of landforms based on their local geometry and geomorphometric context Gerçek, Deniz; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010) Terrain as a continuum can be categorized into landform units that exhibit common physiological and morphological characteristics which might serve as a boundary condition for a wide range of application domains. However, heterogeneous views, definitions and applications on landforms yield inconsistent and incompatible nomenclature that lack interoperability. Yet, there is still room for developing methods for establishing a formal background for general type of classification models to provide different di...
OBJECT-BASED CLASSIFICATION OF LANDSCAPE INTO LAND MANAGEMENT UNITS (LMUs) Gercek, Deniz; Zeydanlı, Uğur Siyami (2010-07-02) A cost effective, reproducible and reliable system of classification of landscapes into homogeneous units characterizing land based on its physical, biological and cultural characteristics -denoted as Land Management Units (LMUs) is of significant importance for management and planning purposes. Especially for developing countries, LMU systems are very critical as they aid in decision making process for achieving sustainable development and conservation of resources.
GIS-based stochastic modeling of physical accessibility using GPS-based floating car data and Monte Carlo simulation Ertugay, Kivanc; Duzgun, Sebnem (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) The term physical accessibility has long been used by geographers, economists, and urban planners and reflects the relative ease of access to/from several urban/rural services by considering the traveling costs. Numerous accessibility measures, ranging from simple to sophisticated, can be observed in the geographical information systems (GIS)-based accessibility modeling literature. However, these measures are generally calculated from a constant catchment boundary (a most likely or average catchment bounda...
Urban biodiversity and climate change Puppim De Oliveira, Jose Antonio; Doll, Christopher; Moreno Penaranda, Raquel; Balaban, Osman (Springer, 2014-08-01) Urban biodiversity refers to the variety and variability among living organisms found in a city and the ecological systems in which they occur. Overall, urban biodiversity responds to a combination of biogeographic and anthropogenic factors, with a strong influence of the latter. In a rapidly urbanizing world under the pressing threat of climate change, there is a growing interest in understanding how cities benefit from local biodiversity and how these benefits can be under threat due to climate change.

Developing an integrated system for semi-automated segmentation of remotely sensed imagery Kök, Emre Hamit; Türker, Mustafa; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2005) Classification of the agricultural fields using remote sensing images is one of the most popular methods used for crop mapping. Most recent classification techniques are based on per-field approach that works as assigning a crop label for each field. Commonly, the spatial vector data is used for the boundaries of the fields for applying the classification within them. However, crop variation within the fields is a very common problem. In this case, the existing field boundaries may be insufficient for perfo...
