The semi-automatically removal of these features and artefacts was based on topographical vector data, visual interpretations and slope analysis. Ultimately two DEM's are constructed (1) a TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) model whereby the inherent large file format restricts the usability to large scale and (2) a grid model which can be used for small-, medium-and large-scale applications. Both datasets are used as an image that is interpreted using ancillary data from historical sources. Its usefulness is illustrated in a case of field pattern and micro-field topography. Starting from this DEM, the approach of this landscape historical study is mainly retrogressive, i.e. starting from the landscape structures and elements that are still present in the contemporary landscape and moving into the past.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
