Difference between Geomorphometry and Topography

Geomorphometry vs. Topography

Geomorphometry, or geomorphometrics, is the science of quantitative land surface analysis. Topography is the study of the shape and features of the surface of the Earth and other observable astronomical objects including planets, moons, and asteroids.

Similarities between Geomorphometry and Topography

Geomorphometry and Topography have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Digital elevation model, Earth, Geographic information system, Geomorphology, Landform, Lidar, Remote sensing, Terrain.

Digital elevation model

A digital elevation model (DEM) is a 3D CG representation of a terrain's surface – commonly of a planet (e.g. Earth), moon, or asteroid – created from a terrain's elevation data.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Geographic information system

A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data.

Geomorphology

Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek: γῆ, gê, "earth"; μορφή, morphḗ, "form"; and λόγος, lógos, "study") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features created by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near the Earth's surface.

Landform

A landform is a natural feature of the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body.

Lidar

Lidar (also called LIDAR, LiDAR, and LADAR) is a surveying method that measures distance to a target by illuminating the target with pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor.

Remote sensing

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on-site observation.

Terrain

Terrain or relief (also topographical relief) involves the vertical and horizontal dimensions of land surface.
