Scale-space (wavelet) analysis of topography, and its use in understanding the evolution of erosional fronts and escarpments bounding continental plateaus

摘要

The main effort during the first year of the NASA/MTPE Topography and Surface Change award has been on finalizing the theory for multiresolution analysis of topographic slope and curvature, finishing the computer software for doing the analyses, and conducting tests with synthetic data as well as digital elevation models (DEMs).
