Outline of Final Research Achievements

A method to create polygon-based terrain classification data was developed and global terrain classification data by region segmentation, machine learning and hierarchical clustering were completed. Terrain groups with different topographical and geological features were detected by comparing with existing geological and geomorphological classification maps in Japan. The classification is improved from previous studies that used 1-km DEMs, especially for the representation of terrace shapes and landform elements smaller than 1 km. The results were generally suitable for distinguishing bedrock mountains, hills, large highland slopes, intermediate landforms (plateaus, terraces, large lowland slopes), and plains. Furthermore, Vs 30 (average shear wave velocity for the top 30 m) data were compared with the terrain classification data and showed the possibility of utilization for seismic hazard.
