摘要：In this paper we describe a novel integration of Hierarchy Theory and Linear Scale-Space for automatically visualizing, and modeling dominant landscape structures at multiple scales. Specifically, we describe 3D methods for modelling and visualizing landscape scale-domains by using scale-space events as critical domain thresholds. This novel approach provides the capacity to automatically define dominant landscape structures within varying shaped scale domains, as well as through (all) domains. We hypothesize that the resulting domain structures represent critical landscape scale thresholds; which could be used as templates to define the grain and extent at which scale-dependent ecological models could be developed and applied, and the limits over which landscape data may be uniquely scaled
