About Us
Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU
The US Geological Survey is offering funding opportunity to conduct research to advance techniques to extract critical information about the Earth¿s surface from high-resolution topographic data to better understand river channel networks and near-channel environments.
Specific tasks are to
(i) assess the state-of the-art of feature extraction algorithms by testing them on landscapes of different characteristics (Eel River, Minnesota River, Death Valley); (ii) develop guidelines directed to lidar practitioners for filtering and feature extraction as a function of dominant landscape processes; (iii) improve scalability and usability of feature extraction tools to allow their distribution as more user-friendly, national-scale, production-grade tools.
