Hello,everyone! My name is xx, I come from AnYang, HeNan province. As one of the famous seven ancient capitals in China, AnYang is a beautiful city with many historical monuments. My major is GIS. Now please allow me to introduce some information about my major.My research area is the application of GIS. Geographic Information System, with its excellent spatial data process ability, has attracted a great attention in many aspects. For example, Resource Management, Urban Planning and Management, Emergency Response, Site Selecting Analysis, Distributed Geographic Information Application, and the urban address geo-coding database.During my school time, I learned some knowledge about address geo-coding. Address geo-coding is a kind of geo-coding method based on spatial orientation technique and it provides an information transformation method from described addresses to geographic coordinates, the address or the name of a place, to a location on the earth’s surface.I am also learning how to use Arcgis, the most popular GIS software, to enter and process the spatial data. This software has powerful functions and what I have learned is a tip of the iceberg. So I will keep studying and trying to know well of it.That’s all, thank you!。

Is What You See, What You Get? GeospatialVisualizations Address Scale and UsabilityAashishChaudhary and Jeff BaumesUnlimited geospatial information now is at everyone’s fingertips with the proliferation of GPS-embedded mobile devices and large online geospatial databases. To fully understand these data and make wise decisions, more people are turning to informatics and geospatial visualization, which are used to solve many real-world problems.To effec tively gather information from data, it’s critical to address scalability and intuitive user interactions and visualizations. New geospatial analysis and visualization techniques are being used in fields such as video analysis for national defense, urban planning and hydrology.Why Having Data Isn’t Good Enough AnymorePeople are realizing that data are only useful if they can find the relevant pieces of data to make better decisions. This has broad applicability, from finding a movie to watch to elected officials deciding how much funding to allocate for an aging bridge. Information can easily be obtained, but how can it be sorted, organized, made sense of and acted on? The field of informatics solves this challenge by taking large amounts of data and processing them into meaningful, truthful insights.In informatics, two main challenges arise when computers try to condense information down to meaningful concepts: disorganization and size. Some information is available in neat, organized tables, ready for users to pull out the needed pieces, but most is scattered across and hidden in news articles, blog posts and poorly organized lists.Researchers are feverishly working on new ways to retrieve key ideas and facts from these types of messy data sources. For example, services such as Google News use computers that constantly "read" news articles and posts worldwide, and then automatically rank them by popularity, group them by topic, or organize them based on what the computer thinks is important to viewers. Researchers at places such as the University of California, Irvine, and Sandia National Laboratories are investigating the next approaches to sort through large amounts of documents using powerful supercomputers.The other obstacle is the sheer vo lume of data. It’s difficult to use informatics techniques that only work on data of limited size. Facebook, Google and Twitter have data centers that constantly process huge quantities of information to deliver timely and relevant information and advertisements to each person currently logged on..Figure 1. A collection of videos are displayed without overlap (top). The outline color represents how close each video matches a query. An alternate view (bottom) places thevideos on top of each other in a stack, showing only the strongest match result.Informatics is a key tool, but it’s not enough to simply find these insights that explain the data. Geospatial visualization bridges the gap from computer number-crunching to human understanding. If informatics is compared to finding the paths in a forest, visualization is like creating a visual map of those paths so a person can navigate through the forest with ease.Most people today are familiar with basic geospatial visualizations such as weather maps and Web sites for driving directions. The news media are starting to test more-complex geospatial visualizations such as online interactive maps to help navigate politicians’ stances on issues, exit polls and precinct reports during election times. People are just beginning to see the impact that well-designed geospatial visualizations have on their understanding of the world..Geospatial Visualization in the Real WorldPeople have been looking at data for decades, but the relevant information that accompanies the data has changed in recent years. In late 1999, Esri released a new software suite, ArcGIS, that could use data from various sources. ArcGIS provides an easy-to-use interface for visualizing 2-D and 3-D data in a geospatial context. In 2005, Google Earth launched and made geospatial visualization available to the general public.Geospatial visualization is becoming more significant and will continue to grow as it allows people to look at the totality of the data, not just one aspect. This enables better understanding and comprehension, because it puts the data in context with their surroundings. The following three cases demonstrate geospatial visualization use in real-world scenarios:1. Urban PlanningPlanners use geomodeling and geovisualization tools to explore possible scenarios and communicate their design decisions to team members or the general public. For example, urban planners may look at the presence of underground water and the terrain’s surrounding topology before deciding to build a new suburb. This is relevant for areas around Phoenix, for example, where underground water presence and proximity to a knoll or hill can determine the suitability of a location for construction.Figure 2. Videos from the same location are partially visible, resembling a stack of cards. Each video is outlined by the color representing the degree to which it matches the query.Looking at a 3-D model of a house with its surroundings gives a completely different perspective than just looking at the model of a house by itself. This also can help provide clear solutions to problems, such as changing the elevation of a building’s base to make it stand better.Urban planning is one of the emerging applications of computer-generated simulation. Cities’ rapid growth places a strain on natural resources that sustain growth. Water management, in particular, becomes a critical issue.The East Valley Water Forum is a regional cooperative of water providers east of Phoenix, and it’s designing a water-management plan for the next 100 years. Water resources in this region come from the Colorado River, the Salt River Project, groundwater, and other local and regional water resources. These resources are affected directly and indirectly by local and global factors such as population, weather, topography, etc.To best understand the relationship among water resources and various factors, the Arizona Department of Water Resources analyzes hydrologic data in the region using U.S. Geological Survey MODFLOW software, which simulates the status of underground water resources in the region. For better decision making and effective water management, a comprehensive scientific understanding of the inputs, outputs and uncertainties is needed. These uncertainties include local factors such as drought and urban growth.Looking at numbers or 2-D graphs to understand the complex relationship between input, output and other factors is insufficient in most cases. Integrating geospatial visualizations with MODFLOW simulations, for example, creates visuals that accurately represent the model inputs and outputs in ways that haven’t been previously presented.For such visualizations, two water surfaces are positioned side-by-side—coming from two different simulations—with contour lines drawn on top. In this early prototype, a simple solution—providing a geospatial plane that can be moved vertically—brings the dataset into a geospatial context. This plane includes a multi-resolution map with transparency. Because these water layers are drawn in geospatial coordinates, it matches exactly with the geospatial plane. This enables researchers to quickly see the water supplies of various locations.2. Image and Video AnalysisDefense Advanced Research Projects Agency launched a program, Video and Image Retrieval nd Analysis Tool (VIRAT), for understanding large video collections. The project’s core requirement is to add video-analysis capabilities that perform the following:• Filter and prioritize massive amounts of archived and strea ming video based on events.• Present high-value intelligence content clearly and intuitively to video analysts.• Reduce analyst workload while increasing quality and accuracy of intelligence yield.Visualization is an integral component of the VIRAT system, which uses geospatial metadata and video descriptors to display results retrieved from a database.Analysts may want to look at retrieval result sets from a specific location or during a specific time range. The results are short clips containing the object of interest and its recent trajectory. By embedding these results in a larger spatiotemporal context, analysts can determine whether a retrieved result is important.3. Scientific VisualizationU.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ research organ ization, the Engineer Research and Development Center, is working to extend the functionality of the Computational Model Builder (CMB) environment in the area of simulation models for coastal systems, with an emphasis on the Chesapeake and Delaware bays.The CMB environment consists of a suite of applications that provide the capabilities necessary to define a model (consisting of geometry and attribute information) that’s suitable for hydrological simulation. Their simulations are used to determine the impact that environmental conditions, such as human activities, have on bodies of water.Figure 3. Google Earth was used to display Chesapeake Bay’s relative salt (top) and oxygen (bottom) content (higher concentrations in red).One goal is to visualize simulation data post-processed by CMB tools. Spatiotemporal information, for example, is included in oxygen content and salinity data. Drawing data in geospatial context lets users or analysts see which locations are near certain features, giving the data orientation and scale that can easily be understood. Figure 3 shows the oxygen and salt content of Chesapeake Bay, where red shows higher concentrations and blue shows lower concentrations.Moving ForwardVisualizations that can be understood at all levels will be key in politics, economics, national security, urban planning and countless other fields. As information becomes increasingly complex, it will be harder for computers to extract and display those insights in ways people can understand.More research must be done in new geospatial analysis and visualization capabilities before we drown in our own data. And it’s even more important to educate people in how to use and interpret the wealth of analysis tools already available, extending beyond the basic road map.High schools, colleges and the media should push the envelope with new types of visuals and animations that show data in richer ways. The price of explaining these new views will be repaid when audiences gain deeper insights into the real issues otherwise hidden by simple summaries. Progress isn’t limited by the volume of available information, but by the ability to consume it.翻译:你所看到的,你得到了什么?地理空间可视化的处理规模和可用性作者:AashishChaudhary和包密斯·杰夫无限的空间信息现在就在每个人的指尖,其与扩散的嵌入式GPS移动设备和大型网上地理空间数据库。

1Object modeling and geodatabaseThe purpose of a geographic information system (GIS) is to provide a spatial framework to support decisions for the intelligent use of earth’s resources and to manage the man-made environment.Most often, a GIS presents information in the form of maps and symbols. Looking at a map gives you the knowledge of where things are, what they are, how they can be reached by means of roads or other transport, and what things are adjacent and nearby. A GIS can also disseminate information through an interactive session with maps on a personal computer. This interaction reveals information that is not apparent on a printed map. For example, you can query all known attributes of a feature, create a list of all things connected from one point on a network to another, and perform simulations to gauge qualities such as water flow, travel time, or dispersion of pollutants.The way you choose to display and analyze information depends upon how you model geographic objects from the world.MANY WAYS TO MODEL A SYSTEMOur interaction with objects in the world is diverse, and you can model them in many ways. Consider one example, rivers. Rivers are natural features, are used for transportation, delimit political or administrative areas, and are an important feature in the shape of a surface. Here are a few of the many ways you can think about modeling rivers in a GIS:• As a set of lines that form a network. Each section of line has flow direction, volume, and other attributes of a river. You can apply a linear network model to analyze hydrographic flow or ship traffic.• As a border between two areas. A river can delimit political areas such as provinces or counties, or can be a barrier for natural regions such as wildlife habitats.• As an areal fe ature with an accurate representation of its banks, braids, and navigable channels on the river.• As a sinuous line forming a trough in a surface model. From the river’s path through a surface, you can calculate its profile and rate of descent, the watershed it drains, and its flooding potentialfor a prescribed rainfall.MAP USE GUIDES THE DATA MODELIt is clear that even a common type of geographic feature such as a river can be represented in a GIS in a variety of ways. No model is intrinsically superior; the type of map you want to create and the context of the problems to be solved will guide which model is best.A geographic data model is an abstraction of the real world that employs aset of data objects that support map display, query, editing, and analysis. ArcInfo 8 introduces a new object-oriented data model—the geodatabase data model—that is capable of representing natural behaviors and relationships of features. To understand the impact of this new model, it is instructive to review three generations of geographic data models.THE CAD DATA MODELThe very first computerized mapping systems drew vector maps with lines displayed on cathode ray tubes and raster maps using overprinted characters on line printers. From this genesis, the 1960s and 1970s saw the refinement of graphics hardware and mapping software that could render maps with reasonable cartographic fidelity. In this era, maps were usually created with general purpose CAD (computer-aided design) software. The CAD data model stored geographic data in binary file formats with representations for points, lines, and areas. Scant information about attributes was kept in these files; map layers and annotation labels were the primary representation of attributes.THE COVERAGE DATA MODELIn 1981, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI), introduced its first commercial GIS software, ArcInfo, which implemented a second generation geographic data model, the coverage data model (also known as the georelational datamodel). This model has two key facets:• Spatial data is combined with attribute data. The spatial data is stored in indexed binary files, which are optimized for display and access. The attribute data is stored in tables with a number of rows equal to the number of features in the binary tables and joined by a common identifier.• Topological relationships between vector features can be stored. This means that the spatial data record for a line contains information about which nodes delimit that line, and by inference, which lines are connected; it also contains information about which polygons are on its right and left sides. The major advance of the coverage data model was the user’s ability to customize feature tables; not only could fields be added, but database relates could be set up to external database tables. Because of the performance limitations of computer hardware and database software of the time, it was not practical to store spatial data directly in a relational database. Rather, the coverage data model combined spatial data in indexed binary files with attribute data in tables. Despite this compromise of partitioning spatial and attribute data, the coverage data model has become the dominant data model in GIS. This has been for good reason—the coverage data model made high performance GIS possible, and stored topology facilitated and improvedgeographic analysis and more accurate data entry.Limitations of the coverage data modelHowever, the coverage data model has an important shortcoming—features are aggregated into homogeneous collections of points, lines, and polygons with generic behavior. The behavior of a line representing a road is identical to the behavior of a line representing a stream. The generic behavior supported by the coverage data model enforces the topological integrity of a dataset. For example, if you add a line across a polygon, it is automatically split into two polygons. But it is desirable to also support the special behaviors of streams, roads, and other real-world objects. An example is that streams flow downhill and when two streams merge into one, the flow of the merged stream is the addition of the two upstream flows. Another example is that when two roads cross, a traffic intersection should be at their junction unless there is an overpass or underpass.Customizing features in coveragesWith the coverage data model, ArcInfo application developers had some notable success in adding this type of behavior to features through macro code written in the ARC Macro Language (AML™). Many successful, large-scale, industry-specific applications were built. However, as applications became more complex, it became apparent that a better way to associate behavior with features was needed. The problem was that the developer had the task of keeping the application code in synchronicity with feature classes—no easy task. The time had come for a new geographic data model with an infrastructure to tightly couple behavior with features.THE GEODATABASE DATA MODELArcInfo 8 introduces a new object-oriented data model called the geodatabase data model. The defining purpose of this new data model is to let you make the features in your GIS datasets smarter by endowing them with natural behaviors, and to allow any sort of relationship to be defined among features.The geodatabase data model brings a physical data model closer to its logical data model. The data objects in a geodatabase are mostly the same objects you would define in a logical data model, such as owners, buildings, parcels, and roads.Further, the geodatabase data model lets you implement the majority of custom behaviors without writing any code. Most behaviors are implemented through domains, validation rules, and other functions of the framework provided in ArcInfo. Writing software code is only necessary for the more specialized behaviors of features.SCENARIOS OF OBJECT INTERACTIONSTo get a sense of why an object-oriented data model is important, review the following scenarios that illustrate common tasks you might perform with features. From these scenarios, you can sift out the benefits of an object-oriented data model and then review some specific characteristics of the geodatabase data model.Adding and editing featuresWhen you add geographic features to your GIS database, you want to ensure that features are placed correctly according to rules such as these:• That the values you assign to an attribute fall within a prescribed set of permissible values. A parcel of land may only have certain land uses such as residential, agricultural, or industrial. That a feature can be placed adjacent or connected to another feature only if certain constraints are met. Placing a liquor store near a school is not permitted by law. A city road cannot be connected to a highway without a transition segment such as an on-ramp. That collections of certain features conform to their natural spatial arrangement. A stream system should always flow downhill. Flow down from a junction is the sum of flows upstream.• That the geometry of a feature follows its logical place ment. The lines and curves that make up a road should be tangent. Building corners most often form right angles.Relationships among featuresAll objects in the world are entangled in relationships with other objects. From the perspective of a GIS, these relationships can be considered to fall within three general categories: topological, spatial, and general. These are some examples of each of these types of relationships:• When you edit features in an electric utility system, you want to be sure that the ends of primary and secondary lines connect exactly and that you are able to perform tracing analysis on that electric network. A set of topological relationships is defined for you when you load or edit features within a connected system.• When you work with a map with buildings, blocks, and school districts, you might want to determine which block contains a particular building, the set of all buildings within a school district, and which blocks contain no buildings.A fundamental function of a GIS is to determine whether a feature is inside, touching, outside, or overlapping another feature. Spatial relationships are inferred from the geometry of features.• Some objects have relationships that are not present on a map. A parcel has a relationship to an owner, but the owner is not a feature on a map. A general relationship connects the parcel and the owner. Some features on amap have relationships, but their spatial relationship is ambiguous. A utility meter is in the general vicinity of an electric transformer, but it is not touching the transformer. The meter and the transformer might not be reliably related by their spatial proximity in crowded areas, so a general relationship ties the two features together.Cartographic displayMost of the time, you will draw features on a map with predefined symbols, but sometimes you will want more control over how your features are drawn. These are some specialized drawing behavior When you display a contour line, you want its elevation annotated along a flat section of the contour, at an average interval such as 4 inches, and not obscuring other features.• When you draw roads on a detailed map, you would like the road drawn as parallel lines with clean intersections wherever there is a road intersection.When multiple electrical wires are physically mounted on the same set of utility poles, you would like to depict them as spread in a set of parallel lines with a standard offset in map units.Interactive analysisDynamic map displays invite the user to touch features, find properties and relationships, and launch analyses. These are examples of some tasks you may want to perform upon selected features:• Touch a feature on a map display and invoke a form to query and update its properties.• Select a part of an elect ric network where line maintenance is planned, find all affected downstream customers, and make a mailing list to notify them. BENEFITS OF THE GEODATABASE DATA MODELThe common thread throughout these scenarios is that it is very useful to apply object-oriented data modeling to features. Object-oriented data modeling lets you characterize features more naturally by letting you define your own types of objects, by defining topological, spatial, and general relationships, and by capturing how these objects interact with other objects. Some of the benefits of the geodatabase data model are:• A uniform repository of geographic data. All of your geographic data can be stored and centrally managed in one database.• Data entry and editing is more accurate. Fewer mistakes are made because most of them can be prevented by intelligent validation behavior. For many users, this alone is a compelling reason to adopt the geodatabase data model. • Users work with more intuitive data objects.Properly designed, a geodatabase contains data objects that correspond to the user’s model of data. Instead of generic points, lines, and areas, the users work with objects of interest, such astransformers, roads, and lakes.• Features have a richer context. With topological associations, spatial representation, and general relationships, you not only define a feature’s qualities, but its context with other features. Thislets you specify what happens to features when a related feature is moved, changed, or deleted. This context also lets you locate and inspect a feature that is related to another.• Better maps can be made. You have more control over how features are drawn and you can add intelligent drawing behavior. You can apply sophisticated drawing methods directly in the ArcInfo mapping application, ArcMap. Highly specialized drawing methods can be executed by writing software code.• Features on a map display are dynamic. When you work with features in ArcInfo, they can respond to changes in neighboring features. You can also associate custom queries or analytic tools with features.• Shapes of features are better defined. The geodatabase data model lets you define the shapes of features using straight lines, circular curves, elliptical curves, and Bézier splines.• Sets of features are continuous. By their design, geodatabases can accommodate very large sets of features without tiles or other spatial partitions.• Many users can edit geographic datasimultaneously. The geodatabase data model permits work flows where many people can edit features in a local area, and then reconcile any conflicts that emerge.To be sure, you can realize some of these benefitswithout an object-oriented data model, but you would be at a disadvantage—you would need to write external code loosely coupled to features and prone to complexity and error. A principal advantage of the geodatabase data model is that it includes a framework to make it as easy as possible to create intelligent features that mimic the interactions and behaviors of real-world objects.2 How maps informWHAT MAPS DOMaps are uniquely capable for sharing knowledge about our world in many ways. Maps identify what is at a location. You can point to a location on a map and learn the name of the place or object and any other descriptive attributes. Maps can locate where you are. If your map has real-time input from the Global Positioning System (GPS), you can see where you are, how fast you are traveling, and the direction you are headed. Maps let you identify distributions, relationships, and trends not otherwise discernible. A demographer can compare maps of urban areas compiled in the past with present-day maps to guide public policy. An epidemiologist can correlate the locations of rare disease outbreaks with environmental factors to find possible causes. Maps can integrate data from diverse sources into a common geographic reference. A municipal government can merge street maps with maps from utilities to coordinate construction. An agricultural scientist can couple images from weather satellites with maps of farms and crops to boost productivity. Maps let you combine and overlay data to solve spatial problems. A state or provincial government can combine many layers of data to find suitable locations for a waste disposal site. Maps can find the best path between one place and another. A package delivery firm can find the most efficient route for trucks. A public transportation planner can create optimized bus routes. Maps can model future events. A utility company can simulate the impact of a new subdivision and determine the necessary system upgrades. A regional planner can model serious accidents such as a toxic spill and develop evacuation scenarios.WHAT MAPS AREGIS technology has broadened our view of a map. Instead of a static entity, a map is now a dynamic presentation of geographic data. A map is the graphical presentation of geographic data. To be effective, a map must be visually compelling. Principles of graphic design—layout, proportion, balance, symbology, and typography—apply to maps as well as to other types of illustration. A map is the interface between geographic data and ourperception. Maps utilize people’s inherent cognitive abilities to identify spatial patterns and provide visual cues about the qualities of geographic objects and locations.A map is an abstraction of geographic data. A map is a view of geography for a particular class of user. A map filters information for intended use—only information for the intended purpose is displayed. A map simplifies data—some of the complexity and internal structure of data is hidden. A map adds descriptive content to data—labels reveal names, categories, types, and other information. The goal of a data modeler is to design a data structure that supports the creation of informative and aesthetic maps. Understanding how maps inform is the prerequisite to building a data model. When you read a map, you observe facts about the shape and position of geographic features, the attribute information associated with geographic features, and the spatial relationships among features.HOW MAPS EXPRESS GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Geographic features are located at or near the surface of the earth. They can occur naturally (rivers, vegetation, and peaks), can be constructions (roads, pipelines, and buildings), and can be subdivisions of land (counties, land parcels, and political divisions).Three primary ways of presenting a geographic area on a map are as a set of discrete features, as an image or sampled grid, and as a surface.DISPLAYING DISCRETE FEATURESMany geographic features have distinct shapes that can be portrayed by points, lines, and polygons.Points represent geographic features too small to be depicted as lines or areas, such as well locations, telephone poles, and buildings. Points can also represent locations that have no area, such as mountain peaks.Lines represent geographic features too narrow to be depicted as areas, such as streets and streams, or slices through a surface, such as elevation contours.Polygons are closed figures that represent the shape and location of homogeneous features, such as states, counties, parcels, soil types, or land-use zones.DISPLAYING IMAGES AND SAMPLED GRIDSMuch of the information we collect about the earth is in the form of aerial photographs or satellite images. These images often form a backdrop to other map data. Similar in format to images are sampled data grids, which represent a continuous phenomenon such as temperature, rainfall, or elevation. Images and sampled data grids are called rasters. A raster is comprised of a two-dimensional matrix of cells, which have attributes that represent qualities such as color, spectral reflectance, or rainfall.DISPLAYING SURFACESThe shape of the earth’s surface is continuous. Some aspects of a surface can be drawn as features, such as ridges, peaks, and streams. Lines of equal elevation can be drawn as contour lines.To portray the shape of the earth, you can create a surface display that uses a range of colors to characterize sun illumination, elevation, slope, and aspect. Most often, the vertical values represent an elevation, but other attributes such as population density can define a surface as wellHOW MAPS PORTRAY ATTRIBUTESThe features on a map have any number of associated attribute values. These attributes reside within the database table for a set of features or can be accessed through links to other databases. The most common types of attributes are these:• A descriptive string gives a feature its name or characterizes a category, condition, or type.• A coded value represents a type of feature. It can be a numeric value or an abbreviated string.• A discrete numeric value represents something that is counted, such as the lanes on a road.• A real numeric value represents continuous data that is measured or calculated, such as distance, area, or flow.• An object identifier is rarely displayed, but it is the key to access attributes in external databases. There are a variety of techniques for illustrating descriptive information on a map.Depicting type attributesCoded values are used to draw symbols that depict a type of object. Points are drawn with recognizable symbols for schools, mines, and ports. Lines are drawn with distinct pen patterns that represent continuous or intermittent streams. Areas are drawn with fill patterns that portray any classification. Illustrating measured attributesNumeric values can be drawn on a map by varying the size of symbols. These values can be integers or real numbers and can be grouped into classifications.Drawing classified attributesCoded values or numeric values can be presented on a map by using colors.A color can represent the features that share a common value. A color can represent a numeric value within a range by a blend from one color to another or a gradation in hue, brightness, or saturation.Labeling descriptive attributesDescriptive strings can be drawn next to, along, or inside the features theydescribe.HOW MAPS EXHIBIT SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPSWhen you look at a map, your mind discerns spatial patterns. Many maps are built for purposes such as identifying business locations, optimizing routes, and understanding habitats.Maps visually reveal these spatial relationships:• Which features connect to others• Which features are a djacent to others• Which features are contained within an area• Which features intersect• Which features are near others• The difference in elevation of features• The relative position among featuresMaps in a GIS also support spatial queries thatcreate lists and selections.3 GIS data representationsIn this chapter you will review some basic concepts of modeling geographic data. You will learn some options for modeling continuous surfaces, discrete features, and imagery. Sometimes, there is more than one reasonable choice for a data model.DATA REPRESENTATION MODELSWith a GIS, you can model data in three basic ways: as a collection of discrete features in vector format, as a grid of cells with spectral or attribute data, or as a set of triangulated points modeling a surface.Modeling with vector dataVector data represents features as points, lines, and polygons and is best applied to discrete objects with defined shapes and boundaries. Features have a precise shape and position, attributes and metadata, and useful behavior.Modeling with raster dataRaster data represents imaged or continuous data. Each cell (or pixel) in a raster is a measured quantity. The most common source for a raster dataset is a satellite image or aerial photograph. A raster dataset can also be a photograph of a feature, such as a building. Raster datasets excel in storing and working with continuous data, such as elevation, water table, pollution concentration, and ambient noise level.Modeling with triangulated dataA TIN is a useful and efficient way to capture the surface of a piece of land. TINs support perspective views. You can drape a photographic image on top of a TIN for a photorealistic terrain display. TINs are particularly useful for modeling watersheds, visibility, line-ofsight, slope, aspect, ridges and rivers, and volumetrics. TINs can model points, lines, and polygons. A triangulation is made of many mass points, each an x,y,z tuple. Breaklines represent streams, ridges, and other linear discontinuities. Exclusion areas represent polygons with same elevation, such as lakes or project boundaries. Contour maps can be generated from a TIN, using linear interpolation or a smoothing algorithm.Implementing data representation modelsA geodatabase implements the vector data representation with feature datasets and feature classes, the raster data representation with raster datasets, and the triangulated data representation with triangulated irregular networks (TINs).A GIS can model a surface in three general ways: as a surface raster, ascontour lines, or as a triangulated irregular network. Each approach has merit, but the triangulated irregular network has special analytic powers and the surface raster can also perform interesting analysis.SURFACE RASTERSome terrain data comes in the form of a uniform grid with elevation values. An example is the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data product from the United States Geological Survey. A raster dataset can represent point elevations spaced at regular intervals. Each cell in the raster has an associated elevation value. From a raster dataset with elevations, the elevation for any point on a surface can be estimated and a set of contours can be derived.The advantages of raster datasets are:• The co nceptual model of raster datasets is simple. Data storage is very compact.• The raster model has well-established algorithms to process raster data. • Elevation data in raster format is relatively abundant and inexpensive to obtain.The disadvantages of raster datasets are:• The rigid grid structure does not conform to the variability of terrain.• The original data is not maintained when it is interpolated to a regularly spaced grid.• Linear features cannot be represented well for many applications. CONTOUR LINESContour lines can be used to represent surfaces. A contour is a line following an equal elevation value. Contours are the most accessible source of terrain information for most map users. Contours are good for human interpretation. Closely spaced contours are a clear visual cue that the local terrain is steep.A sharp angle in a contour is a clue of a stream or ridge line. You can get a sense of the “lay of the land” by reading contours on a map.However, contours are generally poor for computer surface models. The collection of all points on contours does not make a good dataset for surfaces. It is difficult to remove data artifacts introduced from converting contours to rasters or TINs. Converting contours is usually a last resort for building a surface model. You can make a perspective view or perform surface analysis of contours only after they have been converted to a raster or a TIN. TRIANGULATED IRREGULAR NETWORKSA triangulated irregular network (TIN) is an efficient and accurate model for representing continuous surfaces. TIN software includes many functions that analyze surfaces.A TIN dataset is built in this way:1. Collect a set of points with x,y,z coordinates through photogrammetric instruments, GPS data collection, or other means. Collect breaklines where the shape of the surface changes sharply. Collect exclusion areas for features such as lakes.2. From this point data, GIS software creates an optimal network of triangles, called a Delaunay triangulation. In a TIN, each triangle is created to be as close to equilateral as possible.3. Each triangle forms a face with a gradient slope. From a TIN, an elevation can be calculated for any point with x and y values by first locating the triangle and then interpolating the height inside it. A TIN is efficient because the point density on any part of the surface can be proportional to the variation in terrain. A flat plain suffices with a low point density and mountainous terrain requires a high point density, especially where the surface changes abruptly.RASTER DATASETSRaster data can be used as a backdrop to a map display, as a source for feature extraction, for gridded surface models, or for modeling proximal geographic functions such as dispersion. GIS software can rapidly overlay stacked raster datasets. A raster dataset stores a two-dimensional matrix with sampled values for each cell. Each cell has the same width and height. The geographic coordinate of the upper-left corner of the grid, together with the cell size and number of grid rows and columns, uniquely defines the spatial extent of the raster dataset. Cell values for raster datasets can be integer or floating numbers. Some representative types of values for raster cells include:• Light reflectance (albedo) in a photograph.• Li ght intensity at a specific part of the spectrum in a satellite image.• A derived attribute, such as land-use type, or a feature type, such as a building or street.• A z value, such as elevation or concentration.A value attribute table (VAT) can be optionallyassociated with a raster dataset. This table keeps track of your value classification. You can add custom attributes by adding more columns. Raster datasets can have one or many bands. Eachband in a raster dataset has an identical grid layout but represents a different attribute. The most common use of multiple bands is to represent the multispectral data captured by satellite imagery.Raster datasets as feature attributesNot all raster datasets have a geographic reference. An image can be used as an attribute to a feature. If you are building a GIS to sell homes, you may。

GIS英文介绍

GIS英文介绍

Geographic Information SystemsGeographic Information Systems integrate computer hardware, software, and trained personnel to link resource data that are geographically referenced (NASA’s define). Computer allows one to access or display data spatially, locate points, lines or areas geographically, associate data with them, and allows retrievals and calculations to be made based upon geographic locations. They store where’s and what’s, coordinates and associated attributes. A GIS staff (trained personnel) is organised to take care of maintaining the system, guiding and controlling input of data, and supporting users during the project period.The U.S. Geological Survey offers a frequently cited definition of GIS: “A computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information; that is, data identified according to location. Practitioners also define a GIS as including the procedures, operating personnel, and spatial data that go into the system.”GIS allows any data with a geographic component (city, ZIP Code, country, etc.) to be displayed on a map.Much of the power of GIS lies in its ability to layer information and data. Data that mean little in table format can make a strong visual impact as a map. For instance, a table of rainfall amounts in major Virginia cities may not be as effective as a map of Virginia displaying the cities and their rainfall amounts. GIS takes this idea a step further: it enables sets of data from a database to be displayed together on demand, even in unusual combinations, and therefore can reveal patterns that otherwise would be difficult to see.Historical BackgroundThe predecessors to GIS are unique uses of maps. Historically, maps were used solely for displaying geographic boundaries and features. One famous exception is a map of London created by Dr. John Snow in 1854. He suspected that an outbreak of cholera was tied to the water system. To investigate, he plotted the London water system and locations where people died from cholera on a map. This map revealed a possible relationship between the water system and the disease —an idea contrary to mainstream thinking at the time. The outbreak was eventually traced to acontaminated pump shown on Snow’s map.Another well-known example of a unique use of a map is Charles Joseph Minard’s “Losses of French Army in Napoleon’s Russian Campaign.”This 1869 map represents Napoleon’s army as a bar and plots its locations as it enters and exits Russia over time. The start of the campaign is represented as a wide bar along the Polish-Russian border. The bar narrows as it proceeds into Russia, and by the time it returns to Poland the bar has thinned to the width of a pen stroke—a dramatic representation of the army’s losses.The first technological forerunner of modern GIS was the Canada Geographic Information System, created by the Canadian government to classify uses of land. This system, developed in the 1960s, brought about many technological advances that eventually led to today’s GIS technologies. The most widely used technology today is ESRI’s ArcGIS system. Similar systems are available, such as those by MapInfo.FeaturesGIS gives new visual access to data by layering them with mapping/spatial information. Layering data allows you to adjust their display and conduct analysis ranging from basic to complex. Some typical uses for GIS include the following: ﹒Mapping: creating maps for basic analysis and communication﹒Planning: using GIS as an analytical tool to assist in planning decisions, such as selecting the site for a new store location﹒Research: using GIS as an analytical tool to explore research questions, find new relationships between data, and find new patterns in data﹒Routing: using GIS to delineate efficient route options (for example, shipping companies plotting delivery routes).Recently developed Web-based GIS (the integration of Web technology into GIS) applications make the technology even more powerful. These applications offer several benefits:﹒Inexpensive distribution of electronic maps and mapping data, whether over the Internet or a corporate intranet﹒Interactivity, which permits users to adjust the appearance of maps to meet their needs﹒Electronic map formats, which allow users to use the electronic maps generated in other documents or formatsTypes of GISGeographical variation, in the real worlds is infinitively complex. The closer you look the more detail you see almost without limit. It would take an infinitively large database to capture the real world precisely data must somehow be reduced to a finite and manageable quantity by a process of generalization or abstraction. Geographical variation must be represented in terms of discrete elements or objects. The rules used to convert real geographical variation into discrete objects is the data model. Data model is set of guidelines for the representation of the logical organization of the data in a database.Current GISs differ according the way in which they organize reality through the data model. Each model tends to fit certain types of data and applications better than others. The software available, the training of the key individuals and historical precedent, also influences the data model chosen for a particular project or application. There are two major choices of data model: raster and vector.Raster model divides the entire study area into a regular grid of cells in specific sequence. The conventional sequence is row by row from the top left corner. Each cell contains a single value. It is space-filling since every location in the study area corresponds to a cell in the raster. One set of cells and associated values is called as layer or coverage. There maybe many layers in a database, e.g. soil type, elevation, land use, land cover.Vector model uses discrete line segments or points to identify locations. Discrete objects (boundaries, streams, cities) are formed by connecting line segments. Vector objects do not necessarily fill space, not all locations in space need to be referenced in the area.A raster model tells what occurs everywhere at each place in the area. A vector model tells where everything occurs and gives a location for every object.Conceptually the raster models are the simplest of the available data models.Raster GISConsider a raster by coding each cell with a value that represents the rock type, which appears in the majority of that cell areas, when finished every cell, will have a coded value. There are several methods for creating raster databases. Direct entry of each layer cell by cell is the simplest. Much raster data is already in digital form, as images. Remote sensing generates images in the digital form. The type of values contained in a raster depends on both the reality being coded and the GIS. Each pixel or cell is assumed to have only one value.The data for an area can be visualised as a set of maps of layers. Only one item of information is available for each location within a single layer. Multiple items of information require multiple layers. Typical raster databases contain up a hundred layers. Each layer typically contains hundreds or thousands of cells.Important characteristics of a layer are its resolution, orientation and zone(s). In general resolution can be defined as the minimum linear dimension of the smallest unit geographic space for which data are recorded. The smallest units are known as cells, pixels. High resolution refers to rasters with small cell dimensions. Orientation is the angle between through north and the direction defined by the columns of the raster. Each zone of a map layer is a set of contiguous locations that exhibit the same value. These might be: ownership parcels, political units such as countries or nations, lakes or islands or individual patches of the same soil or vegetation type.Value is the item of information stored in a layer for each pixel or cell. Cells in the same zone have the same value. Location is defined by an ordered pair of coordinates that identify the location of each unit of geographic space in the raster.The vector or object GISVector data model based on vectors. Fundamental primitive is a point. Connecting points with straight lines create objects. Areas are defined by sets of lines. The term polygon is synonymous with area in vector databases because of the use of straight-line connection between points. Very large vector databases have been built for different purposes.Area objects in one class or layer cannot overlap and must exhaust the space of a layer. Every piece of boundary line is a common boundary between two areas. The strech of common boundary between two junctions (nodes) has various names such as edge, chain or arc. Arc is used by several systems and has attributes, which identify the polygons on either side. Arcs are fundamental in vector GIS. There are two ways of storing areas. In polygon storage every polygon is stored as a sequence of coordinates. Although most boundaries are shared between two adjacent areas, all are in out and coded twice, once for each adjacent polygon. This method is used by many automated mapping packages. The second method is arc storage. In this method every arcs is stored as a sequence of coordinates. Areas are built by linking arcs. Only one version of each internal shared boundary is input and stored. Used in most current vector-based GISs.Sampling the worldThe world is infinitely complex. The contents of a spatial database represent a particular view of the world. The used sees the real world through the medium of the database. The measurements and samples contained in the database must present as complete and accurate a view of the world as possible. The contents of the database must be relevant in terms of themes and characteristics captured, the time period covered and the study area.A database consists of digital representation of discrete objects. The features shown on a map, e.g. lakes, benchmarks, contours can be through of as discrete objects. Thus the contents of a map can be captured in a database by turning map features into database objects. Many of the features shown on a map are fictitious and do not exist in the real world. Contours do not really exist, but houses and lakes are real objects. The contents of a spatial database include: digital versions of real objects, e.g. houses, digital versions of artificial map features, e.g. contours and artificial objects created for the purpose of the database, e.g. pixels.Some characte ristics exist everywhere and vary continuously over the earth’s surface e.g. elevation, atmospheric temperature and pressure, natural vegetation or soil type. This kind of variation can be represented in a several ways: by takingmeasurements at sampling points, e.g. weather station; by taking transects; by dividing the area into patches or zones, and assuming the variable is constant, within each zone, e.g. soil mapping; by drawing contours, e.g. topographic mapping.Each of these methods creates discrete objects. The objects in each case are points, lines or areas.Since the 1960s, GIS has quietly transformed decision-making in universities, government, and industry by bringing digital spatial data sets and geographic analysis to desktop computers. Geographic Information Sciences include Geographic Information Systems as well as the disciplines of geography (examining the patterns of the Earth’s people and physical environment), cartography (mapmaking), geodesy (the science of measuring and surveying the Earth), and remote sensing (studying the Earth from space). GIS also provide a technology and method to analyze spatial data, or information about the Earth. The earth’s climate, natural hazards, population, geology, vegetation, soils, land use, and other characteristics can be analyzed in a GIS using computerized maps, aerial photographs, satellite images, databases, and graphs. By analyzing phenomena about the Earth’s hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, a GIS helps people understand patterns, linkages, and trends about our planet.《地理信息系统》参考译文根据NASA的定义,地理信息系统(GIS)是指由专业人员利用计算机硬件和软件将各种地理资源数据连接的系统。

The research group of Electrical Power System Lab (EPSL) of TEIC is developing aGIS software application for displaying the operational conditions of the power system of Crete, presenting alsocritical information and statistical data for system?s characteristics. This tool is intended to help training of engineersin the Electrical Department of TEIC to simulate and visualize power system operation and characteristics. Besides,this tool is very helpful for a power system engineer in observing the whole system operations an d system?s data. Alldata used are derived from a database developed by EPSL. Digitalized maps of Crete Island use this database anddisplay them optionally according to user?s demand or choice. So, an authorized user can decide which data will bedisplayed on the map, and with a simple mouse click on a selected element of the map he can b informed about its characteristics. Furthermore, this application is being uploaded on web. This means that this application runson aserver of EPSL, which can serve distant users after authorization procedure. That distance user could be a trainee inhis desk, or an engineer, or a researcher in the lab. One of the services that application provides is the load flow calculation on a specific part of the system, or for a specifi c scenario of system?s operation.Key-Words:-GIS applications, Power Systems observation, power systems web-applications1. INTRODUCTIONCrete?s electrical power system is a large autonomous system with large wind power penetration. The customer?s power & energy demand is increasing with highrates. The operation of the whole system is in charge of the Greek PPC (public power corporation)control center, located in Iraklion, where a SCADA system has been installed. In terms of integration of dispersed generation new methods and computer applications are adopted toward adaptation of the critical information of system?s operational conditions.Mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)are key to a utility's business. These software applications store and map a vast amount of information about the utility's electric system and other outside plants. People and applications across theorganization typically require information from the GIS.The benefits of adaptation of a GIS for a power system are many. Descriptive presentation of data (graphics,maps, tables etc) and presentation of data in real space are offered. They offer, also,convenience concerning data processing since, as wellas to examine them in different layers. It analyzes and presents information related to spatial places. It can combine elements – data from digital database, GPS for concerning the specific definition of places,sampling and distant measurements. The relation between the data basis and the maps give the chance to the user to interact with the system of an interactivecommunication between the user and the system.Moreover many data basis can be connected andcombined improving the flexibility of the/doc/9e74597be53a580217fcfe61.html ing specific tools of software design (like map objects) we can display the results of a load flow test on the digital map of Crete.It?s possible to use GIS to define the number of people as well as forecast of load demand. Further more if we know the density (people, space) we can rate the placesper load demand.The amount of data can be presented on maps for a quick estimation of the network-system operational condition.The GIS can observe external factors such as weather conditions. For example if we know the temperature of an area, we?re able to predict the load demand there,for the next hours.GIS is a helpful tool for new types of energymanagement.2. SYSTEM MODELLING – TECHNICAL INFORMATION2.1 Power ProductionThe power system of the island of Crete is the largest autonomous power system in Greece with the highest rate of increase nation-wide in energy and power demand. The conventional generation system consists of three major power plants one in Linoperamata, one in Chania and one in Atherinolakos (the latest). The first two power plants are located near the major load points of the island. There are 20 thermal, oil-fired generating units with a total installed capacity of about 742MW. The percentage of the participation of each generator type in the total electrical power production and the annual fuelconsumption are depicted in figures1 and 2(These two figures correspond to the system in 2001, before atherinolakos installation.The power system comprises the following power stations:Six steam turbines in LinoperamataFour diesel engines in LinoperamataFour gas turbines in Linoperamata & five gas turbines in Chania.One combined cycle in Chania of 133.4 MW (2gas turbines and 1 steam turbine) Two diesel engines in Atherinolak o s2.2 Load demandThe base load is mainly supplied by the steam and diesel units. The gas turbines normally supply the daily peak load. Until 1988 the annual peak load demand always occurred in winter, from then on it always appears in summer evenings. Figure 3 shows the increase of energy demand and peak load since 1964.One characteristic of the load profile is the large variations (low night valleys – high evening peaks).Gas turbines have a high operating cost that increases significantly the average cost of electricity being supplied.2.3 Transmission systemThe transmission network (figure 4) consists mainly of 150 kV lines. There are only 2 lines of 66kV from Linop33 (production sub) to 1Irak31 (substation). The distribution network consists of 20 kV (21 kV) and 15kV (15.75 kV) lines. The generation system and the transmission network are supervised by a control center located in one of the substations in Iraklio (2IRAK), using a SCADA system.2.4 Wind ParksAbout 15 Wind Parks(WPs) have been installed in Crete since 1995 of total capacity of up to 134.7 MW and there are plans for more WPs in the next years. The peak wind penetration was up to 41.2%. Most of the wind parks have been installed at the eastern part of the island (Sitia) that presents the most favourable wind conditions. As a result, in case of faults on some particular lines, the majority of the wind parks will be disconnected.Furthermore, the protections of the WPs might be activated in case of frequency variations, decreasing additionally the dynamic stability of the system.Extensive transient analysis studies have therefore been conducted in order to assess the dynamic behaviour of the system under various disturbances and with different combinations of the generating units.2.5 Technical constraintsThe start up preparation time of a generator depends on its type. The gas turbines require 6-12 minutes for preparation. The steam turbines require 1-2 hours in …hot? state, and 8 or more hours for the …cold? state. The diesels require about 20 minutes. In addition, the increase rate of power of each generator also depends on its type. For the steam turbines is low. For the gas turbines it is 16-17 MW/min. Diesel? s rate is also high, as they react rapidly to load variations. In order to avoid undesirable frequency increase, the generator is at its technical minimum when it is connected to the system.One of the biggest problems of the system is the high fuel cost. Gas turbinesconsume diesel oil which is expensive and increases the energy cost per KWh. Steam turbines and diesel engines consume crude oil. (diesel engines consume diesel oil only at the start up state and the stop state) Diesel engines, steam turbines and wind parks reduce the cost per KWh.3. CREATION OF GISThe first part of this project was the creation of GIS maps that represent the Electrical Power System of Crete. For this reason we created a Geographical Information System (GIS) using ArcGIS and Microsoft Access. Using ArcGIS and Microsoft Access we represented substations, transmission lines, renewable sources, power plants of Crete presented over a digitized map.For every substation the elements that were imported in the database and can be viewed on the map are:1. Name of the substation2. Number of busses3. Type of the substation4. Transformer data5. Capacitor banks6. Load Demand dataFor the transmission lines the elements that were imported in the database and can be viewed on the map are:1. Circuit type2. Circuit length3. electrical data such as R,X,B4. 1st,2nd and 3rd loading limitsFor the renewable sources and the power plants the elements that were imported in the database were:1. location2. Installed Power3. Electrical dataAfter the completion of the first part of the project, the result was the creation of digitalized maps of Crete where the user can work with, using programs such as ArcGIS or other similar programs. One simple program which presents system?s data is cmd01(fig.9). It has been developed by EPSL using ESRI?s map objects. The use r chooses the layers (data) he wants to be displayed on the map of Crete. He can alsozoom in or zoom out in order to observe the desired area of the network.4. WEB PARTOn the second part of this project our aim was to transform the digitized mapsthat were created with the use of ARCGIS in a format that can be viewed in Web. Forthis reason we used technologies such as Apache, MySQl and SVG (Scalable VectorGraphics).We developed a Web server on a Linux SuSe 10.0 Server where ApacheWeb Server was installed. The second step was to import the database that wasanalyzed in step 1 from windows access to MySQL. The choice for MySQL wasbased on the fact that is a database capable to work on Webenvironment(figure11).The third step was the transformation of GIS maps in a formatthat can be viewed in Web explorers. Our choice was by default SVG. SVG is aplatform for twodimensional graphics. It has two parts: an XML-based file format anda programming API for graphical applications. Key features include shapes, text andembedded raster graphics, with many different painting styles. It supports scriptingthrough languages such as ECMAScript and has comprehensive support for animation.SVG is used in many business areasincluding Web graphics, animation, user interfaces, graphics interchange, print and hardcopy output, mobile applications and high-quality design. SVG is a royalty-free vendor-neutral open standard developed under the W3C Process. It has strong industry support; Authors of the SVG specification include Adobe, Agfa, Apple, Canon, Corel, Ericsson, HP, IBM, Kodak, Macromedia, Microsoft, Nokia, Sharp and Sun Microsystems. SVG viewers are deployed to over 100 million desktops, and there is a broad range of support in many authoring tools. SVG builds upon many other successful standards such as XML (SVG graphics are text-based and thus easy to create), JPEG and PNG for image formats, DOM for scripting and interactivity, SMIL for animation and CSS for styling. SVG is interoperable. The W3C release a test suite and implementation results to ensure conformance. The tool that was used to transform the GIS maps to SVG format was the MapViewSVG from UisMedia. The result was the creation of digitized maps of the Power System of Crete were a user using a Web explorer such as IE of Firefox can interact with the map and decide which parts of the Power System to be shown (Power Plants, substations etc).5. LOAD FLOW ANALYSISThe Last part of the project is the creation a Load Flow Analysis of the network where the user can interact with the SVG map and perform a Load flow Analysis ofthe power system of Crete. This application is under construction and it will be accomplished till May 2007. The Gauss-Seidel Algorithm is used and it has been performed on a simplified 9-buses model of the network. An authorized distant user will be able to input in a appropriate form the load demand (P(MW) and Q(MVar)) data for the 9 specific high voltage buses (High V oltage/Low V oltage Substations) and generators? production. The server w ill execute the Gauss-Seidel load flow calculations. Results will be displayed on web, on the specific elements (substations) of the map of Crete. The realization of the algorithm is going to be、constructed using PHP and Jscript that will use the data elements of the Mysql database described above.6. CONCLUSIONSGIS applications are very helpful in displaying a variety of data for power systems? characteristics and operation. EPSL has developed a database and a GIS tool for the power system of Crete. This work has been uploaded on web. Students of Electrical Department of TEI of Crete can be training on power systems? operation and can observe systems? electrical characteristics. There is a compl ete model of a real autonomous power system on web, featuring all related data such as transmission lines, generators, capacitors etc. Besides an authorized user can apply changes to the model in case of changes of the power system (for example new capacitors, transmission lines, substationsetc). The above mentioned system will be capable to support load flow analysis based on real data of the Crete Power System. For the end-user (for example a student) there will be the capability to accomplish that Load Flow Analysis without the need to use specialized software.7.

遥感系统基本上可分为两种类型:被动和主动。当能量来源独立记录仪的时候,被动遥感系统从目标中提取出发射和反射出的辐射。相机和热红外探测器就是好的例子。无源传感器只能用于检测当它自然产生时也是可以使用的能量。对于所有的反射能量,这只能在太阳照亮地球时发生。在晚上没有来自于太阳的反射能量。自然排放(如热红外)的能源不管在白天还是在晚上都可以被检测,只要量能大到足以被记录
地面摄影或近景摄影测量,一般是指相机到物体的距离小于100米的测量。它们是为了获得一个地区的立体象对而用位于地面上的一个摄像头拍摄,然后进行测量或用立体测图仪进行等高线划定。地面或近景摄影测量的许多用途,包括建筑修复的数字化建模,法医学和整形外科医疗成像,为了进行桥梁和水坝的结构稳定性研究以及警察部门为了记录下交通事故和犯罪现场而进行的数据收集。
Photogrammetry can be defined as the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment by recording,measuring and interpreting photographic images ( American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 1987 ) . Photogrammetry is the technique of measuring objects (2D or 3D) from photographs, but it may be also imagery stored electronically on tape or disk taken by video or CCD cameras or radiation sensors such as scanners. The most important feature of photogrammetry is that the objects are measured without being touched.

Ground-based sensors are often used to record detailed information about the surface which is compared with information collected from aircraft or satellite sensors. In some cases, this can be used to better characterize the target which is being imaged by these other sensors, making it possible to better understand the information in the imagery. Sensors may be placed on a ladder, scaffolding, tall building, cherry-picker, crane, etc.

中英文对照外文翻译(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)A Survey on Spatio-Temporal Data WarehousingAbstractGeographic Information Systems (GIS) have been extensively used in various application domains, ranging from economical, ecological and demographic analysis,to city and route planning. Nowadays, organizations need sophisticated GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) to analyze their data with respect to geographic information, represented not only as attribute data, but also in maps. Thus, vendors are increasingly integrating their products, leading to the concept of SOLAP (Spatial OLAP). Also, in the last years, and motivated by the explosive growth in the use of PDA devices, the field of moving object data has been receiving attention from the GIS community. However, not much has been done in providing moving object databases with OLAP functionality. In the first part of this paper we survey theSOLAP literature. We then move to Spatio-Temporal OLAP, in particular addressing the problem of trajectory analysis. We finally provide an in-depth comparative analysis between two proposals introduced in the context of the GeoPKDD EU project: the Hermes-MDC system,and Piet, a proposal for SOLAP and moving objects,developed at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.Keywords: GIS, OLAP, Data Warehousing, MovingObjects, Trajectories, AggregationINTRODUCTIONGeographic Information Systems (GIS) have been extensively used in various application domains, ranging from economical, ecological and demographic analysis, to city and route planning (Rigaux, Scholl, & V oisard, 2001; Worboys, 1995). Spatial information in a GIS is typically stored in different so-called thematic layers (also called themes). Information in themes can be stored in data structures according to different data models, the most usual ones being the raster model and the vector model. In a thematic layer, spatial data is annotated with classical relational attribute information, of (in general) numeric or string type. While spatial data is stored in data structures suitable for these kinds of data, associated attributes are usually stored in conventional relational databases. Spatial data in the different thematic layers of a GIS system can be mapped univocally to each other using a common frame of reference, like a coordinate system.These layers can be overlapped or overlayed to obtain an integrated spatial view.On the other hand, OLAP (On Line Analytical Processing) (Kimball,1996; Kimball & Ross, 2002) comprises a set of tools and algorithms that allow efficiently querying multidimensional databases, containing large amounts of data, usually called Data Warehouses. In OLAP, data is organized as a set of dimensions and fact tables. In the multidimensional model, data can be perceived as a data cube, where each cell contains a measure or set of (probably aggregated) measures of interest. As we discuss later, OLAP dimensions are further organized in hierarchies that favor the data aggregation process (Cabibbo & Torlone, 1997). Several techniques and algorithms have been developed for query processing, most of them involving some kind of aggregate precomputation (Harinarayan, Rajaraman, & Ullman, 1996).The need for OLAP in GISDifferent data models have been proposed for representing objects in a GIS. ESRI () first introduced the Coverage data model to bind geometric objects to non-spatial attributes that describe them. Later, they extended this model with object-oriented support, in a way that behavior can be defined for geographic features (Zeiler,1999). The idea of the Coverage data model is also supported by the Reference Model proposed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (). Thus, in spite of the model of choice,there is always the underlying idea of binding geometric objects to objects or attributes stored in (mostly) object-relational databases (Stonebraker & Moore, 1996). In addition, query tools in commercial GIS allow users to overlap several thematic layers in order to locate objects of interest within an area, like schools or fire stations.For this, they use indexing structures based on R-trees (Gutman, 1984).GIS query support sometimes includes aggregation of geographic measures, for example, distances or areas (e.g., representing different geological zones). However, these aggregations are not the only ones that are required, as we discuss below.Nowadays, organizations need sophisticated GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) to analyze their data with respect to geographic information, represented not only as attribute data, but also in maps, probably in different thematic layers. In this sense, OLAP and GIS vendors are increasingly integrating their products (see, for instance,Microstrategy and MapInfo integration in /, and /). In this sense, aggregate queries are central to DSSs. Classical aggregate OLAP queries (like “total sales of cars in California”), and aggregation combined with complex queries involving geometric components (“total sales in all villages crossed by the Mississippi river and within a radius of 100 km around New Orleans”) must be efficiently supported. Moreover, navigation of the results using typical OLAP operations like roll-up or drill-down is also required. These operations are not supported by commercial GIS in a straightforward way. One of the reasons is that the GIS data models discussed above were developed with “transactional” queries in mind. Thus, the databases storing nonspatial attributes or objects are designed to support those (nonaggregate) kinds of queries. Decision support systems need a different data model, where non-spatial data, probably consolidated from different sectors in an organization, is stored in a data warehouse. Here,numerical data are stored in fact tables built along several dimensions.For instance, if we are interested in the sales of certain products in stores in a given region, we may consider the sales amounts in a fact table over the three dimensions Store, Time and Product. In order to guarantee summarizability (Lenz & Shoshani, 1997), dimensions are organized into aggregation hierarchies. For example, stores can aggregate over cities which in turn can aggregate into regions and countries. Each of these aggregation levels can also hold descriptive attributes like city population, the area of a region, etc. To fulfill the requirements of integrated GIS-DSS, warehouse data must be linked to geographic data. For instance, a polygon representing a region must be associated to the region identifier in the warehouse. Besides, system integration in commercial GIS is not an easy task. In the current commercial applications, the GIS and OLAP worlds are integrated in an ad-hoc fashion, probably in a different way (and using different data models) each time an implementation is required, even when a data warehouse is available for non-spatial data.An Introductory Example. We present now a real-world example for illustrating some issues in the spatial warehousing problematic. We selected four layers with geographic and geological features obtained from the National Atlas Website (). Theselayers contain the following information: states, cities, and rivers in North America, and volcanoes in the northern hemisphere (published by the Global V olcanism Program - GVP). Figure 1 shows a detail of the layers containing cities and rivers in North America, displayed using the graphic interface of the Piet implementation we discuss later in the paper. Note the density of the points representing cities (particularly in the eastern region). Rivers are represented as polylines. Figure 2 shows a portion of two overlayed layerscontaining states (represented as polygons) and volcanoes in the northern hemisphere.There is also non-spatial information stored in a conventional data warehouse. In this data warehouse, dimension tables contain customer,stores and product information, and a fact table contains stores sales across time. Also, numerical and textual information on the geographic components exist (e.g., population, area), stored as usual as attributes of the GIS layers.In the scenario above, conventional GIS and organizational data can be integrated for decision support analysis. Sales information could be analyzed in the light of geographical features, conveniently displayed in maps. This analysis could benefit from the integration of both worlds in a single framework. Even though this integration could be possible with existing technologies, ad-hoc solutions are expensive because,besides requiring lots of complex coding, they are hardly portable. To make things more difficult, ad-hoc solutions require data exchange between GIS and OLAP applications to be performed. This implies that the output of a GIS query must be probably exported as members in dimensions of a data cube, and merged for further analysis. For example, suppose that a business analyst is interested in studying the sales of nautical goods in stores located in cities crossed by rivers. She could first query the GIS, to obtain the cities of interest. She probably has stored sales in a data cube containing a dimension Store or Geography with city as a dimension level. She would need to“manually” select the cities of interest (i.e., the ones returned by the GIS query) in the cube, to be able to go on with the analysis (in the best case, an ad-hoc customized middleware could help her). Of course, she must repeat this for each query involving a (geographic) dimension inthe data cube.Figure 1. Two overlayed layers containing cities and rivers in North America.On the contrary, GIS/Data warehousing integration can provide a more natural solution. The second part of this survey is devoted to spatio-temporal datawarehousing and OLAP. Moving objects databases (MOD) have been receiving increasing attention from the database community in recent years, mainly due to the wide variety of applications that technology allows nowadays. Trajectories of moving objects like cars or pedestrians, can be reconstructed by means of samples describing the locations of these objects at certain points in time. Although thereFigure 2. Two overlayed layers containing states in North America and volcanoes in thenorthern hemisphere.exist many proposals for modeling and querying moving objects, only a small part of them address the problem of aggregation of moving objects data in a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) scenario. Many interesting applications arise, involving moving objects aggregation, mainly regarding traffic analysis, truck fleet behavior analysis, commuter traffic in a city, passenger traffic in an airport, or shopping behavior in a mall. Building trajectory data warehouses that can integrate with a GIS is an open problem that is starting to attract database researchers. Finally, the MOD setting is appropriate for data mining tasks, and we also comment on this in the paper. In this paper, we first provide a brief background on GIS, data warehousing and OLAP, and a review of the state-of-the-art in spatial OLAP. After this, we move on to study spatio-temporal data warehousing, OLAP and mining. We then provide a detailed analysis of the Piet framework, aimed at integrating GIS, OLAP and moving object data, and conclude with a comparison between this proposal, and the Hermes data cartrridge and trajectory datawarehouse developed in the context of the GeoPKDD project (Information about the GoePKDD project can be found at http://www.geopkdd.eu).A SHORT BACKGROUNDGISIn general, information in a GIS application is divided over several thematic layers. The information in each layer consists of purely spatial data on the one hand, that is combined with classical alpha-numeric attribute data on the other hand (usually stored in a relational database). Two main data models are used for the representation of the spatial part of the information within one layer, the vector model and the raster model. The choice of model typically depends on the data source from which the information is imported into the GIS.The Vector Model. The vector model is used the most in current GIS (Kuper & Scholl, 2000). In the vector model, infinite sets of points in space are represented as finite geometric structures, or geometries, like, for example, points, polylines and polygons. More concretely, vector data within a layer consists in a finite number of tuples of the form (geometry, attributes) where a geometry can be a point, a polyline or a polygon. There are several possible data structures to actually store these geometries (Worboys, 1995).The Raster Model. In the raster model, the space is sampled into pixels or cells, each one having an associated attribute or set of attributes. Usually, these cells form a uniform grid in the plane. For each cell or pixel, the sample value of some function is computed and associated to the cell as an attribute value, e.g., a numeric value or a color. In general, information represented in the raster model is organized intozones, where the cells of a zone have the same value for some attribute(s). The raster model has very efficient indexing structures and it is very well-suited to model continuous change but its disadvantages include its size and the cost of computing the zones.Spatial information in the different thematic layers in a GIS is often joined or overlayed. Queries requiring map overlay are more difficult to compute in the vector model than in the raster model. On the other hand, the vector model offers a concise representation of the data, independent on the resolution. For a uniform treatment of different layers given in the vector or the raster model, in this paper we treat the raster model as a special case of the vector model. Indeed, conceptually, each cell is, and each pixel can be regarded as, a small polygon; also, the attribute value associated to the cell or pixel can be regarded as an attribute in the vector model.Data Warehousing and OLAPThe importance of data analysis has increased significantly in recent years as organizations in all sectors are required to improve their decision-making processes in order to maintain their competitive advantage. We said before that OLAP (On Line Analytical Processing) (Kimball, 1996; Kimball & Ross, 2002) comprises a set of tools and algorithms that allow efficiently querying databases that contain large amounts of data. These databases, usually designed for read-only access (in general, updating isperformed off-line), are denoted data warehouses. Data warehouses are exploited in different ways. OLAP is one of them. OLAP systems are based on a multidimensional model, which allows a better understanding of data for analysis purposes and provides better performance for complex analytical queries. The multidimensional model allows viewing data in an n-dimensional space, usually called a data cube (Kimball & Ross,2002). In this cube, each cell contains a measure or set of (probably aggregated) measures of interest. This factual data can be analyzed along dimensions of interest, usually organized in hierarchies (Cabibbo & Torlone, 1997). Three typical ways of OLAP tools implementation exist: MOLAP (standing for multidimensional OLAP), where data is stored in proprietary multidimensional structures, ROLAP (relational OLAP), where data is stored in (object) relational databases, and HOLAP (standing for hybrid OLAP, which provides both solutions. In a ROLAP environment, data is organized as a set of dimension tables and fact tables, and we assume this organization in the remainder of the paper.There are a number of OLAP operations that allow exploiting the dimensions and their hierarchies, thus providing an interactive data analysis environment. Warehouse databases are optimized for OLAP operations which, typically, imply data aggregation or de-aggregation along a dimension, called roll-up and drill-down, respectively. Other operations involve selecting parts of a cube (slice and dice) and reorienting the multidimensional view of data (pivoting). In addition to the basic operations described above, OLAP tools provide a great variety of mathematical, statistical, and financial operators for computing ratios, variances, ranks,etc.It is an accepted fact that data warehouse (conceptual) design is still an open issue in the field (Rizzi & Golfarelli, 2000). Most of the data models either provide a graphical representation based on the Entity- Relationship (E/R) model or UML notations, or they just provide some formal definitions without user-oriented graphical support. Recently, Malinowsky and Zimányi (2006) propose the MultiDim model. This model is based on the E/R model and provides an intuitive graphical notation. Also recently, Vaisman (Vaisman, 2006a, 2006b) introduced a methodology for requirement elicitation in Decision Support Systems, arguing that methodologies used for OLTP systems are not appropriate for OLAP systems.Temporal Data WarehousesThe relational data model as proposed by Codd (1970), is not wellsuited for handling spatial and/or temporal data. Data evolution over time must be treated in this model, in the same way as ordinary data. This is not enough for applications that require past, present, and/or future data values to be dealt with by the database. In real life such applications abound. Therefore, in the last decades, much research has been done in the field of temporal databases. Snodgrass (1995) describes the design of the TSQL2 Temporal Query Language, an upward compatible extension of SQL-92. The book, written as a result of a Dagstuhl seminar organized in June 1997 by Etzion, Jajodia, andSripada (1998), contains comprehensive bibliography, glossaries for both temporal database and time granularity concepts, and summaries of work around 1998. The same author (Snodgrass, 1999), in other work, discusses practical research issues on temporal database design and implementation.Regarding temporal data warehousing and OLAP, Mendelzon and Vaisman (2000, 2003) proposed a model, denoted TOLAP, and developed a prototype and a datalog-like query language, based on a (temporal) star schema. Vaisman, Izquierdo, and Ktenas (2006) also present a Web-based implementation of this model, along with a query language, called TOLAP-QL. Eder, Koncilia, and Morzy (2002) also propose a data model for temporal OLAP supporting structural changes. Although these efforts, little attention has been devoted to the problem of conceptual and logical modeling for temporal data warehouses. SPATIAL DATA WAREHOUSING AND OLAPSpatial database systems have been studied for a long time (Buchmann, Günther, Smith, & Wang, 1990; Paredaens, Van Den Bussche, & Gucht, 1994). Rigaux et al. (2001) survey various techniques, such as spatial data models, algorithms, and indexing methods, developed to address specific features of spatial data that are not adequately handled by mainstream DBMS technology.Although some authors have pointed out the benefits of combining GIS and OLAP, not much work has been done in this field. Vega López,Snodgrass, and Moon (2005) present a comprehensive survey on spatiotemporal aggregation that includes a section on spatial aggregation. Also, Bédard, Rivest, and Proulx (2007) present a review of the efforts for integrating OLAP and GIS. As we explain later, efficient data aggregation is crucial for a system with GIS-OLAP capabilities.Conceptual Modeling and SOLAPRivest, Bédard, and Marchand (2001) introduced the concept of SOLAP (standing for Spatial OLAP), a paradigm aimed at being able to explore spatial data by drilling on maps, in a way analogous to what is performed in OLAP with tables and charts. They describe the desirable features and operators a SOLAP system should have.Although they do not present a formal model for this, SOLAP concepts and operators have been implemented in a commercial tool called JMAP, developed by the Centre for Research in Geomatics and KHEOPS, see /en/jmap/solap.jsp. Stefanovic, Han, and Koperski (2000) and Bédard, Merret, and Han (2001), classify spatial dimension hierarchies according to their spatial references in: (a) non-geometric;(b) geometric to non-geometric; and (c) fully geometric. Dimensions of type (a) can be treated as any descriptive dimension (Rivest et al., 2001). In dimensions of types (b) and (c), a geometry is associated to members of the hierarchies. Malinowski and Zimányi (2004) extend this classification to consider that even in the absence of several related spatial levels, a dimension can be considered spatial. Here, a dimension level is spatial if it is represented as a spatial data type (e.g., point, region), allowing them to link spatial levels through topological relationships (e.g., contains, overlaps). Thus, a spatial dimension is a dimension that contains at least one spatial hierarchy. A critical point inspatial dimension modeling is the problem of multiple-dependencies, meaning that an element in one level can be related to more than one element in a level above it in the hierarchy. Jensen, Kligys, Pedersen, and Timko (2004)address this issue, and propose a multidimensional data model for mobile services, i.e., services that deliver content to users, depending on their location.This model supports different kinds of dimension hierarchies, most remarkably multiple hierarchies in the same dimension, i.e., multiple aggregation paths. Full and partial containment hierarchies are also supported. However, the model does not consider the geometry, limiting the set of queries that can be addressed. This means that spatial dimensions are standard dimensions referring to some geographical element (like cities or roads).Malinowski and Zimányi (2006) also propose a model supporting multiple aggregation paths. Pourabbas (2003) introduces a conceptual model that uses binding attributes to bridge the gap between spatial databases and a data cube. The approach relies on the assumption that all the cells in the cube contain a value, which is not the usual case in practice, as the author expresses. Also, the approach requires modifying the structure of the spatial data to support the model. No implementation is presented.Shekhar, Lu, Tan, Chawla, & Vatsavai (2001) introduced MapCube, a visualization tool for spatial data cubes. MapCube is an operator that, given a so-called base map, cartographic preferences and an aggregation hierarchy, produces an album of maps that can be navigated via roll-up and drill-down operations.Spatial Measures. Measures are characterized in two ways in the literature, namely: (a) measures representing a geometry, which can be aggregated along the dimensions; (b) a numerical value, using a topological or metric operator. Most proposals support option (a), either as a set of coordinates (Bédard et al., 2001; Rivest et al., 2001; Malinowski & Zimányi, 2004; Bimonte, Tchounikine, & Miquel, 2005), or a set of pointers to geometric objects (Stefanovic et al., 2000). Bimonte et al. (Bimonte et al., 2005) define measures as complex objects (a measure is thus an object containing several attributes). Malinowski and Zimányi (2004) follow a similar approach, but defining measures as attributes of an n-ary fact relationship between dimensions.Damiani and Spaccapietra (2006) propose MuSD, a model allowing defining spatial measures at different granularities. Here, a spatial measure can represent the location of a fact at multiple levels of (spatial) granularity. Also, an algebra of SOLAP operators is proposed.Spatial AggregationIn light of the discussion above, it should be clear that aggregation is a crucial issue in spatial OLAP. Moreover, there is not yet a consensus about a complete set of aggregate operators for spatial OLAP. We now discuss the classic approaches to spatial aggregation. Han et al. (1998) use OLAP techniques for materializing selected spatial objects, and proposed a so-called Spatial Data Cube, and the set of operations that can be performed on this data cube. The model only supports aggregation of spatial objects.Pedersen and Tryfona (2001) propose the pre-aggregation of spatial facts. First, they pre-process these facts, computing their disjoint parts in order to be able to aggregate them later. This pre-aggregation works if the spatial properties of the objects are distributive over some aggregate function. Again, the spatial measures are geometric objects.Given that this proposal ignores the geometries, queries like “total population of cities crossed by a river” are not supported. The paper does not address forms other than polygons, although the authors claim that other more complex forms are supported by the method, and the authors do not report experimental results.With a different approach, Rao, Zhang, Yu, Li, and Chen (2003), and Zhang, Li, Rao, Yu, Chen, and Liu (2003) combine OLAP and GIS for querying so-called spatial data warehouses, using R-trees for accessing data in fact tables. The data warehouse is then exploited in the usualOLAP way. Thus, they take advantage of OLAP hierarchies for locating information in the R-tree which indexes the fact table.Although the measures here are not only spatial objects, the proposal also ignores the geometric part of the model, limiting the scope of the queries that can be addressed. It is assumed that some fact table, containing the identifiers of spatial objects exists. Finally, these objects happen to be points, which is quite unrealistic in a GIS environment, where different types of objects appear in the different layers. Some interesting techniques have been recently introduced to address the data aggregation problem. These techniques are based on the combined use of (R-tree-based) indexes, materialization (or preaggregation) of aggregate measures, and computational geometry algorithms.Papadias, Tao, Kalnis, and Zhang (2002) introduce the Aggregation Rtree (aR-tree), combining indexing with pre-aggregation. The aR-tree is an R-tree that annotates each MBR (Minimal Bounding Rectangle) with the value of the aggregate function for all the objects that are enclosed by it. They extend this proposal in order to handle historic information (see the section on moving object data below), denoting this extension aRB-tree (Papadias, Tao, Zhang, Mamoulis, Shen, and & Sun, 2002). The approach basically consists in two kinds of indexes: a host index, which is an R-tree with the summarized information, and a B-tree containing time-varying aggregate data. In the most general case, each region has a B-tree associated, with the historical information of the measures of interest in the region. This is a very efficient solution for some kinds of queries, for example, window aggregate queries (i.e., for the computation of the aggregate measure of the regions which intersect a spatio-temporal window). In addition, the method is very effective when a query is posed over a query region whose intersection with the objects in a map must be computed on-thefly,and these objects are totally enclosed in the query region. However, problems may appear when leaf entries partially overlap the query window. In this case, the result must be estimated, or the actual results computed using the base tables. In fact, Tao, Kollios, Considine, Li,and Papadias (2004), show that the aRB-tree can suffer from the distinct counting problem, if the object remains in the same region for several timestamps.时空数据仓库的调查摘要地理信息系统已被广泛应用于不同的应用领域,包括经济,生态和人口统计分析,城市和路线规划。

1.
The science and technology of acquiring , storing , processing , managing , analyzing and presenting geographically referred information (geo-spatial data ). This broad term applies both to science and technology,and integrates the following more specific disciplines and technologies including surveying and mapping ,geodesy , satellite positioning , photogrammetry ,remote sensing, geographic information system(GIS), land management ,computer systems ,environmental visualization and computer graphics .
2.
A horizontal angle is the angle formed in a horizontal plane by two intersecting vertical planes , or a horizontal angle between two lines is the angle between the projections of the lines onto a horizontal plane .For example ,observations to different elevation points
B and
C from A will give the horizontal angle BAC which is the angle between the projections of two lines (AB and AC) onto the horizontal plane . It follows that , although the points observed are at different elevations ,it is always the horizontal angle and not the space angle that is measured . The horizontal angle is used primarily to obtain relative direction to a survey control point ,or to topographic detail points ,or to points to be set out .

The first step in measuring the distance between the GPS receiver and a satellite requires measuring the time it takes for the signal to travel from the satellite to the receiver . Once the receiver knows how much time has elapsed , the travel time of the signal multiplies the speed of light (because the satellite signals travel at the speed of light , approximately 186,000 miles per second )to compute the distance . Distance measurements to four satellites are require to compute a 3-dimensional (latitude ,longitude and altitude )position .。
