“…Consequently, remote sensing-based mapping of point objects in the physiognomic landscape should be based in spatial autocorrelation or pixelbased texture metrics, such as the Grey-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix texture metrics (Haralick et al 1973;Hall-Beyer 2017b). This approach is already utilised for the detection of stand-alone palm trees, with high-resolution satellite imagery (Idbraim et al 2016). However, no studies were found connecting in-situ eye-tracking analysis with remote sensing-based textural mapping, thus, this lack of results frames the respective potential for further research.…”

Deconstructing landscape pattern: applications of remote sensing to physiognomic landscape mapping

In 1939, Carl Troll pointed out that "air photo interpretation is to a large extent landscape ecology". From that time forward, remote sensing has been applied across different disciplines to comprehend the holistic and dynamic spatial layout of the visual Earth environment. However, its applicability in the domain of landscape character assessment, landscape design and planning is still questionable. The purpose of this paper was to synthesise some historical and current applications of remote sensing for the decomposition of the continual visual landscape from a bird's eye perspective and to explore the potential for bridging geographic processes with visual perception and an appreciation of the landscape pattern. From the point of view of landscape ecology, the organisation of the landscape pattern (namely, the size, shape (form), number, density and diversity, the complexity of landscape elements, and colours and textures of the land cover) is crucial for the cognition of both the visual landscape experience and the geographic processes. There are numerous pieces of evidence from the literature that remote sensing data are widely implemented in the modelling of physiognomic landscape. The synthesis of the literature concludes with perspective directions of remote sensing applications, such as mapping the status of the ecosystem (landscape) services provision, the delineation of the boundaries of the protected areas based on the quality of the Title visual environment, and the assessment of the sustainability of the land use practices, regarding their impact on landscape aesthetics extent.
