Data Analysis

Application of the Terrain Analysis System to provide a customer specified terrain analysis product.

To involve:

Physiographic/geomorphic characterization of project area.
Terrain feature extraction definitions
Landform extraction and delineation
Customer specified output

Data Sources

Data sources can consist of unique, customer supplied datasets or the following more generally available datasets:

Elevation Data
- SRTM
- DTED (customer supplied)
- USGS DEM
- NED
- IFSAR
- LIDAR
- custom formats
Landsat Data
Hyperspectral Data

Terrain Related Knowledge Engineering

We will work closely with the customer to develop custom Knowledge Bases for intelligent feature extraction. This can include the fusion of other data types such as hyperspectral or Landsat in conjunction with elevation data.
