An objective approach for feature extraction: distribution analysis and statistical descriptors for scale choice and channel network identification

A statistical approach to LiDAR derived topographic attributes for the automatic extraction of channel network and for the choice of the scale to apply for parameter evaluation is presented in this paper. The basis of this approach is to use distribution analysis and statistical descriptors to ident...
