that is right. In case he is working with the latest lidar data for
California, I think we have a nice example in the book for r.param.scale
for the high resolution data showing what neighborhood you need to get
meaningful curvature maps from lidar-based DEM.

If he has the bare earth point cloud available he can get even better
curvature maps at an appropriate level of detail while keeping the
resolution high from v.surf.rst (I think we have that described in the
IEEE paper 2005 and here is an illustration)

Hello list,

A coworker was asking me if I know of a slope curvature algorithm that lets
you adjust the kernel size. Does GRASS have such a program?

Hi Markus,

I do have the 3rd edition of your book, but it seems like r.param.scale is not in your book (at least I don't see a reference in the index). Since we do have lidar, I'd like to take a look at Helena's IEEE paper. Is it (or a preprint) available on the internet? Also I wanted to know what the illustration is showing. It looks like curvature is on the left and slope on the right which are animated to based on some parameter?

You find it on pages 149/150.

I have cc'ed to Helena for this.
