Hill shading and the reflectance map
Abstract
Shaded overlays for maps give the user an immediate appreciation for the surface topography since they appeal to an important visual depth cue. A brief review of the history of manual methods is followed by a discussion of a number of methods that have been proposed for the automatic generation of shaded overlays. These techniques are compared using the reflectance map as a common representation for the dependence of tone or gray level on the orientation of surface elements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
