Spatial and morphometric features of thermal contraction crack polygons on Mars
Žížalová, Ivana ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Brož, Petr (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze zonality of the thermal contraction crack polygons on the surface of Mars. Their morphology and its variation are analyzed in relation to the latitude of Mars. For spatial and morphological analysis were selected 64 images from the HiRISE (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) polychromatic camera dataset, images are covering the bandwidths proportionally. Images were first visually analyzed using HiView. 258 areas containing the thermal contraction crack polygons (with total area of 1184 km2 ) and 1036 well developed thermal contraction crack polygons were further vectorized using ArcMap. The thermal contraction crack polygons were found in every searched latitude which proves the ubiquity of permafrost. The largest amount of the thermal contraction crack polygons have been found in latitudes ±60ř and 45ř. In these latitudes were also found the largest and probably the deepest thermal contraction crack polygons (average length ranges from 42,1 - 73,6 m). The smallest polygons (average length 7,7 m) were found around the equator. "Altitude" has no effect on the spread of the thermal contraction crack polygons on Mars; however it has the effect on its morphology. The most widespread are pentagonal polygons, which occur mainly in the southern hemisphere. The next most...
Recognition and classification of patterned ground polygons from remote sensing data

Recognition and classification of patterned ground polygons from remote sensing data Abstract The main objective of this thesis has been to prove the possibility of using object based image analysis classification for identification of the ice-wedge polygons and to find general method for their classification. The thesis contains a comparison of the object based and pixel based classification of the subject. The three classification rulesets for OBIA were developed on three test sites on Mars captured by HiRISE sensor. As a result, the general classification approach is suggested. The manually collected datasets, which are common in geomorphological research, were used as the reference sample. The OBIA classification provided better results in all three cases, whereas the pixel classification was valid in only one case. Another objective has been the automatization of the process of gaining information about morphometric characteristics of the ice-wedge polygons and the subsequent classification of the polygons. Within the scope of the process were developed methods for creating polygonal network and specified parameters of those methods. Several toolboxes for the ArcGIS software were prepared and they are part of the results of the thesis. Keywords: patterned ground, ice-wedge polygons, remote sensing,...
