Airborne LiDAR is one of the most effective and reliable means of terrain data collection.
Using LiDAR data for digital elevation model (DEM) generation is becoming a standard …

We first provide a critical review of statistical procedures employed in the literature for testing
uncertainty in digital terrain analysis, then focus on several aspects of spatial autocorrelation …

The detection of zones exposed to flash-flood and also the torrential valleys on which flash-
