20.500.12556/RUL-133065 VAT method for visualization of mass movement features an alternative to hillshaded DEM Hillshaded digital elevation models are a well-known information layer used to determine the geomorphological properties of landslides. However, their use is limited because the results are dependent on a particular sun azimuth and elevation. Approaches proposed to overcome this bias include positive openness, sky-view factor, red relief image maps, and prismatic openness. We propose an upgrade to all these methods, a method named Visualization for Archaeological Topography (VAT). The method is based on a fusion of four information layers into a single image (hillshaded terrain, slope, positive openness, and sky-view factor). VAT can be used to enhance visibility of features of varied scale, height, orientation, and form that sit on terrain ranging from extremely flat to very steep. Besides this, the merits of VAT are that the results are comparable across diverse geographical areas. We have successfully tested the method for landslide recognition and analysis in five different areas in the Vipava Valley (SW Slovenia). Geomorphology of the area is very diverse and holds various types of mass movements. In contrast to classical hillshaded digital elevation models (DEMs), the geomorphological features of landslides obtained by the VAT method are very clearly seen in all studied mass movements. landslides geomorphology VAT SVF lidar aerial laser scanning Vipava Valley true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2021-11-10 11:30:15 2021-11-10 11:30:16 2022-09-12 04:14:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 14 str. iss. 24, art. 2946 Vol. 11 2019 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 55 2072-4292 10.3390/rs11242946 1529950 RAZ_Verbovsek_Timotej_2019.pdf RAZ_Verbovsek_Timotej_2019.pdf 1 C7E94375AF2678BBBFAA7F20ADD4452F 86467a72d55c25c052a95fafa66f076eff7049e611e008d2291be6e4a44d6332 b61516da-4211-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=150841 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/11/24/2946 0 50aa2657-4211-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=150840 Naravoslovnotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
