The Possibility of Studying Landforms by Means of Digital Computers
V. L. Greysukh · Soviet Geography · 1967
The author proposes a digital code that would enable a computer to recognize landforms by matching the code of a given form against standard patterns stored in the computer's memory. This would represent automation of the first stage of compilation of geomorphic and special-purpose maps in which the general character of the surface relief of an area and its spatial distribution must be determined.
