Abstract
The authors present a conception of an aerial photograph as a multidimensional measurement of the spatial structure of the Earth's surface having parameters such as mean optical density, texture, and structure. Two basic approaches used in this study to analyze landscape structure via corresponding characteristics of image structure are identified as the “fractal dimensions” and “continuous mapping” methods. The applicability of and results obtained from the two methods are demonstrated using as an example the analysis of image structure of an aerial photograph of a secondary morainal plain in the Central Russian Upland. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, Virginia, from: Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, seriya geograficheskaya, 1999, No. 2, pp. 80-90.
