    Buchroithner, Manfred 3D DISPLAY TECHNIQUES FOR CARTOGRAPHIC PURPOSES: SEMIOTIC ASPECTS Manfred F. Buchroithner*, Robert Schenkel**, Sabine Kirschenbauer*** Dresden University of Technology, Germany Institute of Cartography *[email protected], **[email protected], ***[email protected] KEY WORDS: 3D-Display Techniques, Cartographic Semiotic, Psychological Cues, Cognition ABSTRACT The variety of the cartographic 3D-visualisation is constantly increasing and thereby more and more fields of application are being developed. These facts require that the coherence of technical, perceptive-psychological and cartographic-theoretical aspects has to be subdivided and classified. Through these formulations of interdependence of the single parameters shall be pointed out. The consideration of communication-theoretical and perceptive-theoretical aspects shall lead to a purpose-oriented realisation of the 3D-visualisation techniques according to the user’s necessities.

  • History and Present IT Augmentation of Europe's Largest Landscape
    Multimodal Technologies and Interaction Article Analogue Meets Digital: History and Present IT Augmentation of Europe’s Largest Landscape Relief Model in Villach, Austria Manfred F. Buchroithner Institute for Cartography, Dresden University of Technology, 01069 Dresden, Germany; [email protected] Received: 30 April 2019; Accepted: 12 June 2019; Published: 20 June 2019 Abstract: Brought to completion in 1913 after a production time of 24 years, the landscape relief model of Carinthia (Kärnten), on display in Villach, Austria, is, at 182 m2, the largest of its kind in Europe. It is painted with nature-like land-cover information and presents the whole federal state of Carinthia and its surroundings including Austria’s highest peak, Großglockner, at a scale of 1:10,000. From 2016 to 2018, a series of computer-generated and partly computer-animated educational contents for rental tablets as well as for projection onto the terrain model and above it have been produced. Their topics are briefly presented. The described Relief von Kärnten is also a paramount example and master copy of how to improve the attractivity of historical physical landscape relief models by means of state-of-the-art information technology. The article is, furthermore, meant to raise awareness for a piece of “geo-art”, which is worth being known at an international scale by both experts and laymen. Keywords: landscape relief model; true-3d; largest terrain model of Europe; history of landscape relief models; 3d terrain modelling and representation; digitally animated projection upon landscape relief model; physical landscape relief models and its augmentation 1. Introduction It may be considered a strange fact that the largest landscape relief model of its kind in Europe is—even in times of a revival of 3D visualizations—almost unknown amongst professionals, not to mention the laymen.

  • Paradigmatic Tendencies in Cartography: a Synthesis of the Scientific-Empirical, Critical and Post-Representational Perspectives
    Fakultät Forst-, Geo- und Hydrowissenschaften Paradigmatic Tendencies in Cartography: A Synthesis of the Scientific-Empirical, Critical and Post-Representational Perspectives Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) vorgelegt von M.Sc. Pablo Iván Azócar Fernández Gutachter: Herr Prof. Dr. phil.habil. Manfred F. Buchroithner Technische Universität Dresden Herr Prof. Dr. Zsolt G. Török Eötvös Lórand University, Budapest Dresden, February 09, 2012 Die Übereinstimmung dieses Exemplars mit dem Original der Dissertation zum Thema: „Paradigmatic Tendencies in Cartography: A Synthesis of the Scientific-Empirical, Critical and Post-Representational Perspectives“ wird hiermit bestätigt. ……………………………………….…. Ort, Datum Azócar, Pablo ……………………………………….…. Unterschrift (Vorname Name) i Abstract Maps have been important elements of visual representation in the development of different societies, and for this reason they have mainly been considered from a practical and utilitarian point of view. This means that cartographers or mapmakers have largely focused on the technical aspects of the cartographic products, and cartography has given little attention to both its theoretical component and to its philosophical and epistemological aspects. The current study is dedicated to consider these views. In this study the main trends, thoughts and different directions in cartography during positivism/empiricism, neo-positivism and post-structuralism are reviewed; and cartography is analysed under the modernism and post-modernism periods. Some of the arguments proposed by philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper are examined as important contributions in our understanding of the development of cartography and mapping. This study also incorporates the idea or concept of paradigm, which has been taken from the field of the epistemology of sciences.

  • When Remote Sensing Went Alpine – the 10 International HMRSC Symposia 1990 - 2008
    Inhaltsverzeichnis Autorenverzeichnis DGPF Tagungsband 19/2010 – Dreiländertagung OVG, DGPF und SGPF When remote sensing went alpine – the 10 international HMRSC symposia 1990 - 2008 1 MANFRED F. BUCHROITHNER Schon immer haben Berge in der Geschichte der Menschheit, sowohl wirtschaftlich als auch kulturell eine wichtige Rolle gespielt. Durch die wachsende Bedeutung einer nachhaltigen Umweltpolitik und das immer größer werdende Potential von Fernerkundungs- und GIS-Technologien für die Kartierung von Hochgebirgen seit den 1980er Jahren, wurden 1990 die Reihe der internationalen Symposien „High Mountain Remote Sensing Cartography“ (HMRSC) begründet. Darauf folgten in einem Zwei Jahres Intervall neun weitere Symposien, mit mehrtägigen Exkursionen als integrativer Bestandteil. Bei der Arbeit mit Fernerkundungsdaten in Hochgebirgsregionen entstehen Probleme, deren Lösung unter Anderem zu den Hauptthemen der HMRSC Symposien zählte. Die Verwendung von Fernerkundungsbildern zur Informationsextraktion und deren kartographische Umsetzung wurden angesprochen und diskutiert. Die erzielten Ergebnisse sind in den HMRSC-Tagungsbänden veröffentlicht. 1 The idea Mountains, independent of their altitude, have always played an important role in the culture and history of mankind. They are sacred places in all religions of our world, the home of Gods. Moreover, they provide the water supply to more than one-sixth of the global population based on the melt from the mountain glaciers. Against the background of an increasing importance of a sustainable environmental management and the rising potential of remote sensing and GIS techniques for the mapping of high-alpine terrain since the 1980s a series of international symposia on High-Mountain Remote Sensing Cartography (HMRSC) was established in 1990. The very first symposium was held in Schladming, Austria.

  • Generating a True-3D Image Map of High Relief Terrain Using Lenticular Foil
    GENERATING A TRUE-3D IMAGE MAP OF HIGH RELIEF TERRAIN USING LENTICULAR FOIL Buchroithner, M.F., Wälder, O., Habermann, K. and König, B. Dresden University of Technology, Institute for Cartography, D-01062 Dresden, Germany. Fax: +49 351 463 37028. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Following the conceptual idea "from 3D camera to 3D view", the production of a true-3D image map of the Granatspitz Massif in the Eastern Alps, near Austria's highest peak, Grossglockner (3794 m), is described. Imagery of this glaciated high-alpine area has been acquired by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) using the DLR-developed High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). This three-line scanner delivers digital multi-spectral scanner data of highest quality in a fore, aft and nadir mode, thus offering a perfect data set for true 3D visualisation by the lenticular lens method. The excellent radiometric properties of the imagery proved ideal for a true-colour depiction of this high-relief terrain containing both clear water bodies and snow-covered glaciated peaks above 3000 m. The map scale has been determined to be 1:15.000, thus making optimum use of the HRSC data resolution and resulting in a map format of 51.5 cm x 71 cm. The projection is Gauss-Krueger. Due to the interlacing of the sub-millimetre strips of the stereo-mates and the resulting decomposition in x-direction the integration of well-designed and easily legible signatures and letterings represent a challenge. The paper describes the lenticular lens principle, the image map generation and, in particular, the actual cartographic work with different approaches for both signatures and lettering.
