About
Landforms are scale-dependent features of the land surface, and therefore are structured in a hierarchical manner. They define boundary conditions for applications in geomorphology, hydrology and related fields. Due to the increasing number of multi-scale studies in those disciplines, automated approaches to hierarchical landform classification based on land surface models are required. The presented research aims at developing landform ontologies as basis for hierarchical landform classification in object-based image analysis (OBIA). Outcomes are expected to contribute to a better understanding of the hierarchical structure of landforms and associated processes. If the proposed system proves to be transferable, there is the potential to implement it in software products, or to use it for automated landform mapping from databases.
