Scale Optimization in Topographic and Hydrographic Feature Mapping Using Fractal Analysis
A new method for selecting optimal scales when mapping topographic or hydrographic features is introduced. The method employs rank-size partition of heavy-tailed distributions to detect nodes of rescaling invariance in the underlying hierarchy of the dataset. These nodes, known as head/tail breaks,...
