The interest in and need for digital landform mapping is permanently growing, but still lacks fully developed transferable object-based classification approaches. In this study a shared object-based mapping workflow is applied to two different input data sets: aerial photographs and DEMs. We aim to end up with promoting insights leading to a data-independent, so to say transferable, multi-resolution segmentation followed by an object-based classification

The most comprehensive Research Ranking of worldwide universities and research-focused institutions. This 3rd edition includes 3,042 institutions from all over the world grouped into five Institutional Sectors and classified by World Regions. The ranking adds two new performance indicators (to the previous four ones) to evaluate institutions' research outcomes: Specialization Index and Excellence Rate. http://www.scimagoir.com/

From data to knowledge, from knowledge to action Stará Lesná, Slovakia, 30 May - 2 June 2012 The 1st FC2010 identified the need for better information on data generation, availability, and accessibility in the Carpathians, especially related to pan-Carpathian datasets. FC2012 will address this need by covering the whole Data-Knowledge-Action cycle, i.e. focusing on how data are generated and transformed into useful knowledge, how the knowledge

We introduce an object-based method to automatically classify topography from SRTM data. The new method relies on the concept of decomposing land-surface complexity into more homogeneous domains. An elevation layer is automatically segmented and classified at three scale levels that represent domains of complexity by using self-adaptive, data-driven techniques. For each domain, scales in the data are detected with the help of local variance and segmentation

Session Code: Geo5 Geomorphometry is a branch of the geo-sciences that is relatively young. It uses quantitative methods and techniques to characterize the earth's surface from digital elevation models. It is especially concerned with the quantification of land-surface parameters and the extraction of landscape features from DEMs. Geomorphometric methods are attractive to many disciplines, including soil science, hydrology, and ecology (see www.geomorphometry.org).
