Abstract
Automatic determination of shape parameters is still a current issue due to the dynamic development of technologies requiring image or geometric data analysis. The research described in this paper presents a new approach to the estimation of shape elongation and the calculation of lengths of shapes whose boundaries may be represented by polygons. The proposed algorithm is based on the Delaunay triangulation. The new approach may play a significant role in practical applications concerning spatial pattern analysis, land fragmentation and efficiency of projects focused on land consolidation and landscape fragmentation analysis.
期刊介绍:
Survey Review is an international journal that has been published since 1931, until recently under the auspices of the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE). The journal is now published for Survey Review Ltd and brings together research, theory and practice of positioning and measurement, engineering surveying, cadastre and land management, and spatial information management.
All papers are peer reviewed and are drawn from an international community, including government, private industry and academia. Survey Review is invaluable to practitioners, academics, researchers and students who are anxious to maintain their currency of knowledge in a rapidly developing field.
