25.1.13. Análise espacial Raster (Matricial)

25.1.13.1. Exposição/Orientação de Encostas

Calculates the aspect of the Digital Terrain Model in input. The final aspect raster layer contains values from 0 to 360 that express the slope direction, starting from north (0°) and continuing clockwise.

25.1.13.2. Sombreados

Calculates the hillshade raster layer given an input Digital Terrain Model.

O sombreado da camada é calculado de acordo com a posição do sol com a opção de escolha, quer do seu ângulo horizontal (azimute), quer do seu ângulo vertical (elevação).

../../../../_images/azimuth.png

Fig. 25.23 Azimute e ângulo vertical

A camada de sombreados compreende valores entre 0 (sombra total) até 255 (claridade total). O método dos sombreados é habitualmente utilizado para aumentar a percepção do relevo do terreno.

É particularmente interessante atribuir à camada de sombreados um nível de transparência que possibilite sobrepô-la ao raster de altitudes:

25.1.13.3. Curvas Hipsométricas

Calculates hypsometric curves for an input Digital Elevation Model. Curves are produced as CSV files in an output folder specified by the user.

A hypsometric curve is a cumulative histogram of elevation values in a geographical area.

You can use hypsometric curves to detect differences in the landscape due to the geomorphology of the territory.

25.1.13.5. Acidentado do Terreno/Índice de Rugosidade

Determina a medida quantitativa da heterogeneidade do terreno descrita por Riley et al. (1999). É calculado para cada ponto analisando as diferenças de elevação existentes na grelha de células 3x3 em cujo centro está contido (ponto).

Cada célula contêm o somatório das diferenças absolutas de elevação entre uma célula central e as oito que a envolvem.
