A Topography-Informed Morphology Approach for Automatic Identification of Forest Gaps Critical to the Release of Avalanches
Human assets in Alpine regions are prone to gravitational natural hazards such as rock fall, shallow landslides and avalanches. Forests make up a substantial share in that landscape and can mitigate those hazards. Management of avalanche protection forests must cope with avalanches potentially relea...
