r.param.scale
GRASS module that extracts terrain parameters from a DEM.
Uses a multi-scale approach by taking fitting quadratic
parameters to any size window (via least squares).

-------
Modified to include constrained fitting.
Jo Wood, April, 1995
-------
Modified to include weighting matrix and double precision arithmetic.

-------
Modified to include two separate tolerance values for feature detection.

Still to do:
Fix bug when `constrain through central cell' option selected.
Create colour tables for all output files (presently only on features).
-------
See also Java Code in 'LandSerf' that implements the same procedure
(http://www.geog.le.ac.uk/jwo/research/LandSerf).
