However, traditional methods often struggle to balance simplification with feature preservation. This paper presents a novel approach for generalizing raster-based DEMs using Quadric Error Metrics (QEM). Traditionally used for polygonal simplification, QEM has been uniquely adapted to operate directly on gridded data, which is required by most geomorphometric calculation and analysis tools. By minimizing geometric distortion, QEM effectively maintains significant land surface features, even at high levels of generalization, where the limitations of existing methods become evident. This was confirmed through a methods comparison, evaluating the generalization level using local roughness measurements based on the circular variance of aspect on four distinct areas that vary considerably in terms of landform type. The QEM approach's implicit evaluation of local surface properties ensures that significant features are preserved without the need for explicit feature detection or extensive parameter tuning. The method employs an adaptive error threshold to progressively remove smaller, non-essential landforms, providing flexible control over the generalization process. The proposed method has significant implications for various applications utilizing DEMs, particularly for analyses for which micro-scale features are undesirable noise, but preservation of the terrain skeleton is especially important. By offering a robust tool for DEM generalization, this research aims to enhance support for digital geomorphological mapping, but it can also be useful for a wider range of geoscientific research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"202 ","pages":"Article 105963"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144068268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because it works with a massive amount of data, the execution of this method requires much time and computational resources, being restricted to large-scale computer systems such as supercomputers. Techniques such as FWI adapt well to parallel computing and can be parallelized in shared memory systems using the application programming interface (API) OpenMP. The management of parallel tasks can be performed through loop schedulers contained in OpenMP. The dynamic scheduler stands out for distributing predefined fixed-size chunk sizes to idle processing cores at runtime. It can better adapt to FWI, where data processing can be irregular. However, the relationship between the size of the chunk size and the runtime is unknown. Optimization techniques can employ meta-heuristics to explore the parameter search space, avoiding testing all possible solutions. Here, we propose a strategy to use the Parameter Auto-Tuning for Shared Memory Algorithms (PATSMA), with Coupled Simulated Annealing (CSA) as its optimization method, to automatically adjust the chunk size for the dynamic scheduling of wave propagation, one of the most expensive steps in FWI. Since testing each candidate chunk size in the complete FWI is unpractical, our approach consists of running a PATSMA where the objective function is the runtime of the first time iteration of the first seismic shot of the first FWI iteration. The resulting chunk size is then employed in all wave propagations involved in an FWI. We conducted tests to measure the runtime of an FWI using the proposed auto-tuning, varying the problem size and running on different computational environments, such as supercomputers and cloud computing instances. The results show that applying the proposed auto-tuning in an FWI reduces its runtime by up to 70.46% compared to standard OpenMP schedulers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55221,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Geosciences","volume":"202 ","pages":"Article 105932"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143947191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using technologies such as UAVs and Smartphones equipped with LiDAR sensors, the workflow generates DOMs that can be integrated into web-GIS applications and Virtual Reality experiences, offering interactive educational content. Four examples are described, illustrating the implementation of the DOM workflow from the outcrop scale (La Pedriza Granitic Batholith, Spain, and Etna Volcano Lava Tube, Italy) to the terrane scale (Organ Pipes Columnar Jointing, Australia, and Baceno Tectonic Window, Italy).
