Topographic openness algorithm for characterizing geologic fractures of Kuala Lumpur limestone bedrock using DEM.

This study presents a modified approach to delineate and map subsurface geological fractures in karst terrain using two geomorphometric parameters from DEM-derived raster maps of slope and topographic openness. Slope and topographic openness were calculated by first and second derivates of a 25m DEM...
