Abstract

The outline of terrain profile section is so complex that the construction of a mathematical model by some classical models such as AR or ARMA may seem hopeless. The authors study how to model a terrain profile section and the corresponding identification, that is represented by fractional Brownian motion with different fractal dimension. This model is improved by additional information resulted from reflection coefficient on the surface of ground, vegetation cover or water
