Automatic detection of clefts and corridors within the sandstone plateau - Szczeliniec Wielki & Szczeliniec Mały mesas, Poland

This research was funded by National Science Centre, Poland, research project no. 2020/39/D/ST10/00861.

This dataset presents the method of automatic clefts and corridors detection within areas of highly dissected relief. This methodical approach was developed for a geomorphological study on Szczeliniec Wielki and Szczeliniec Mały sandstone mesas (Stołowe Mts., SW Poland) (Migoń et al. 2023)
