Cartographic Visualisation and Landscape Modeling
CARTOGRAPHIC VISUALISATION AND LANDSCAPE MODELING Milap Punia Associate Professor, Centre for the Study of Regional Development, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi-110067 - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Preception, Aesthetics, Cartographic Design,Visualisation, Landscape ABSTRACT: Perception plays a major role for interpretation or extracting information from remote sensing data and from thematic maps. With advances in information technology, there remains a necessary and critical role for the “human in the loop” in the interpretation of remotely sensed imagery, in earth sciences and cartography. On the side of information technology display systems play a critical role in supporting visualization, and in recent years it has become widely recognized that the visualization of data is critical in science, including the domain of cartography, a field with a long-standing interest in issues of communication effectiveness. These cartographic concerns pertaining to the features of display symbols, elements, and patterns have clear effects on process of perception and visual search. In this study an attempt has been made to harness, interpret, compare and evaluate landscape aesthetics with cartographic aesthetics. By understanding and incorporating cartographic aesthetics with landscape aesthetics, the cartographic design process can be strengthened and effective maps can be generated. Here both landscape and cartography are considered as objects of aesthetics and an attempt has been made to evaluate their aesthetic experience and to analyze their various patterns of similarity and exceptions. By doing this it formulates and facilitates conception of feeling, expression and visual reality all together in the cartographic design process. 1. INTRODUCTION Aesthetics has been a subject of philosophy since long period. -
Curriculum of Geoinformatics – Integration of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Technology
Virrantaus, Kirsi CURRICULUM OF GEOINFORMATICS – INTEGRATION OF REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Kirsi VIRRANTAUS*, Henrik HAGGRÉN** Helsinki University of Technology, Finland Department of Surveying *Institute of Geodesy and Cartography [email protected] **Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing [email protected] KEY WORDS: Geoinformatics, Geoinformation technique, Remote Sensing, Information technique, Curriculum, Surveyor. ABSTRACT This paper describes the development of Geoinformatics at Helsinki University of Technology as an independent curriculum in surveying studies. Geoinformatics includes Geoinformation Technique and Remote Sensing. The goal of this curriculum is to produce graduated students who have knowledge both in vector and raster based geoinformation processing. GIS design and software development, vector based data base management as well as algorithms for analysis and methods of visualization are representatives of the educational contents of Geoinformation Technique. Remote Sensing includes image processing methods, satellite technologies and use of images in different application areas. This paper outlines the structure and contents of this curriculum. We also discuss the need of Geoinformatics as an independent curriculum in the network of university curricula. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND In most universities the curricula of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geoinformation Technique (GIT) are separated into different laboratories under different professorships. While Remote Sensing -
Geoinformatics for Natural Resources Management Vis-À-Vis Environmental Justice
Geoinformatics for Natural Resources Management vis-à-vis Environmental Justice Parthasarathi Chakrabarti Remote Sensing Cell, DST & NES, Govt. of West Bengal, Bikash Bhavan, Salt Lake, Kolkata – 700 091 [email protected] KEYWORDS: Geo-environmental Mapping, Remote Sensing, Change Detection, Visualization, GIS ABSTRACT: In natural resources and environmental management Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) is an essential component to specify the guidelines for biodiversity conservation. Conceptually, ‘Geo-environmental mapping’ depicts EIA results in spatial format exemplifying the change in geosphere of the environment in human orientation. Easy-to-understand presentation of data in 'Geo-environmental mapping' requires identification of Geo-environmental indicators and unit, in relation to Natural System Unit (NSU) or Terrain Mapping Unit (TMU) through terrain evaluation procedure. In this respect, Geo-informatics (operational combination of RS and GIS technologies) play facilitator role in collection and visualization of up-to-date spatial data as well as integration and analysis of the same with aspatial database to generate application specific 'strategic datasets' for technological adjustment (structural means) and social adaptations (non-structural means), towards environmentally sound landuse/ landcover practices, minimizing the adverse effects of natural hazards (e.g. droughts, floods, bank failure) land degradation etc. This paper speaks on applicability of ‘Geo-environmental mapping’ citing case history examples from eastern -

Design Issues with 3D Maps and the Need for 3D Cartographic Design
Design Issues with 3D Maps and the Need for 3D Cartographic Design Principles Dave Pegg Abstract Design issues regarding the presentation of geographical information in a th ree- dimensional perspective are varied and complex. This paper looks at some of issues of 3D mapping stemming from its rapid development as a cartographic tool, its growing popularity and accessibility amongst users, and the 3D cartographic principles proposed to manage the design and presentation that are not covered by traditional cartographic principles. Introduction Multimedia cartography has been propelled forward by the rapid technological advances for the capture, manipulation and presentation of geographical data, with most map products now being developed digitally. The quality and accuracy of data capture, data storage & manipulation capabilities, as well as the advancements in software, mean that a cartographer now has the ability to digitally create spatially accurate, detailed and high resolution three-dimensional maps and visualizations. The advent of Digital terrain or elevation models make available the presentation of geographical data in three dimensional space, and allowing precise modelling of not only x and y locations, but the z height creating a three-dimensional landscape. In the case of three-dimensional cartographic mapping, there are many different applications that have been designed for the creation of 3D maps and visualizations, and the development of standards and guidelines in regards to the technical aspects of such models. 3D maps can be done in several different ways, each way creating a different representation of the landscape. 3D maps can be photorealistic, where the landscape is created to match the exact landscape, using techniques of overlaying ortho-photography over a 3D model, or can be “symbolistic”, where the maps are generalized and symbols designed to show object locations and information. -
