The increasing use of spatially explicit analyses of high-resolution spatially distributed data (imagery and point clouds) for the purposes of characterising spatial heterogeneity in geophysical phenomena necessitates the development of custom analytical and computational tools. In recent years, such analyses have become the basis of, for example, automated texture characterisation and [...]

The purpose of this article is to present the steps necessary to improve the resolution of a DEM us- ing variogram modelling and kriging, as well as a brief comparison of the results with those obtained with interpolation by Regularised Splines with Ten- sion (RST).

This article briefly describes r.roughness, a shell script written to calculate the surface roughness of raster surfaces. The method is based on Hobson (1972), where roughness is defined as the ratio be- tween surface and plan area of square cells.
