Análise espacial Raster (Matricial)

Exposição/Orientação de Encostas

Calcula a carta de exposição de encostas a partir do Modelo Digital de Terreno fornecido. A camada raster de exposição (orientações) resultante compreende valores entre 0 e 360 que expressam a direcção do declive. Com início no Norte (0º), crescem no sentido horário.

[raster]

Digital Terrain Model raster layer

Z factor

Z_FACTOR

[number]

Default: 1.0

Vertical exaggeration. This parameter is useful when the Z units differ from the X and Y units, for example feet and meters. You can use this parameter to adjust for this. The default is 1 (no exaggeration).

Sombreados

Calcula a camada raster de sombreados para um dado Modelo Digital do Terreno.

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

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:

[number]

Default: 1.0

Vertical exaggeration. This parameter is useful when the Z units differ from the X and Y units, for example feet and meters. You can use this parameter to adjust for this. Increasing the value of this parameter will exaggerate the final result (making it look more «hilly»). The default is 1 (no exaggeration).

Azimuth (horizontal angle)

AZIMUTH

[number]

Default: 300.0

Set the horizontal angle (in degrees) of the sun (clockwise direction). Range: 0 to 360. 0 is north.

Vertical angle

V_ANGLE

[number]

Default: 40.0

Define o ângulo vertical (graus) ou altura do sol. Os valores variam entre 0 (altura mínima) e 90 (altura máxima).

Hillshade

Curvas Hipsométricas

Calcula as curvas hipsométricas de um determinado Modelo de Elevação Digital. As curvas são geradas em ficheiros formato csv, por sua vez armazenados numa pasta especificada pelo utilizador.

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.

The file names start with histogram_, followed by layer name and feature ID.

Relevo

Creates a shaded relief layer from digital elevation data. You can specify the relief color manually, or you can let the algorithm choose automatically all the relief classes.

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.
