Multidimensional Representation of Geographic Features publications

Developing high-level constructs for geographic data and feature representation that capture human cognition of geographic space and are efficiently implemented in computer systems is the objective of this project. The project is focused on multidimensional representation, including three-dimensional and temporal object attributes. The initial focus has been on watershed

Presentations and Publications from CEGIS

The availability of soil moisture affects plant production potential, rainfall runoff volume, and many other parameters that are of interest to agricultural production, forest management, soil conservation, and watershed management and modeling. Transformations of the spectral reflectance in remotely sensed images may be able to provide significant information on soil

Elevation model - multiscale representation

The above image shows Eastern Great Plans and Central Interior Appalachian landscape features spanning much of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana as depicted with a 100-meter resolution elevation model overlain with 1:2,000,000-scale hydrographic features.
