Creation and analysis of topographic (surface) networks.
Terrain can be represented as a collection of objects - terrain features such as valleys, ridges, hills etc. One possible approach to arrive at such a model is modelling relationships between elements in a terrain model, most commonly pixels in an elevation model. Here, pixels are connected according to their height difference. Such a network, in its simplest form identical to the one used for watershed modelling, can then be analysed for modeling terrain ontologies...
