一种面要素语义位置的GeoSOT网格定位方法

为解决传统地图查询方法中对复杂地址对象难以定位的问题,该文面向地理网格的时空大数据分析需求,结合面要素特点与语义分析,提出一种面要素语义位置的GeoSOT网格定位方法。首先通过最小外包矩形(Minimum Bounding Rectangle,MBR)将面要素以九宫格形式分割成9个区块,单独计算各区块的网格编码集合;然后提取位置语句中的名称与空间关系,根据具体情境进行直接查询,或利用网格编码计算目标位置;最后根据语义考虑是否对编码结果做差集运算,从而得到目标的GeoSOT网格定位范围。实验表明,对比现有的地图服务,该方法能够实现语境更加复杂的位置定位,具有可行性和有效性,其提供的未知要素推理定位方法能够有效补充、扩展原有的面要素数据集,可为后续针对面状区域的时空大数据分析提供网格化的数据资源。     

基于GeoSOT编码的多元灾害数据一体化组织管理方法研究

灾害信息数据来源广、格式复杂、关联性差、存储管理难度大,亟须建立一种多元灾害数据一体化组织管理方法.该文采用目前相对成熟的GeoSOT全球剖分网格模型,提出了基于“空间面片”统一组织管理多元灾害信息数据的方法.该方法对GeoSOT模型进行了两方面改进:1)根据灾害信息数据的空间属性特点采用21级剖分方案建立“空间面片”;2)直接使用数字对“空间面片”进行编码.为解决海量、多元灾害信息数据的快速查询检索问题,设计了“两次检索”的技术方案:第一次检索使用一维剖分格网编码代替传统的二维经纬度,提高了检索速度;第二次检索使用经纬度,剔除所选范围之外数据,提高了数据检索精度.采用World Wind数字地球开发了一个C/S架构的多元灾害数据一体化管理实验系统,以HJ1A/1B多光谱数据、GLCF影像产品数据和灾情统计报表数据为例,对该方法验证的结果表明,其能够有效地组织管理多元灾害信息数据,并实现对数据的快速查询检索,满足减灾救灾数据管理的业务需求.     

GIS空间索引方法述评

地理信息系统的主要任务之一是有效地检索空间数据及快速响应不同用户的在线查询。传统的索引方法只能解决一维查询问题,无法满足地理信息系统的要求。该文介绍了GIS中具有代表性的三类空间索引方法,即基于点区域划分的索引方法、基于面区域划分的索引方法和空间实体的地址编码索引方法,并且进行了分析对比。     

GeoHash、Google S2和Uber H33种全球地理格网编码方法对比分析

地理格网编码是高效管理、分析和查询海量地理空间位置数据并提供信息服务中非常重要且基础的工作。GeoHash、Google S2和Uber H3是目前商业应用上3种较常用的地理格网编码方法,该文从地理编码的基本概念及其演变过程出发,介绍当前地理编码所涉及的地理格网剖分和编码运算方法,然后从算法概况、编码方式、编码层级及其对应空间范围等方面对3种方法进行阐释,最后从正多面体选择、剖分单元、填充曲线、编码层级、邻域查询与邻域距离类型和算法应用优缺点等方面进行对比分析,以深入挖掘3种方法的应用价值和前景,可为基于地理位置大数据的研究与应用提供借鉴。     

基于GeoSOT的遥感影像云索引模型研究

针对目前遥感影像中云信息描述简单、云的空间分布信息不足而限制影像局部云信息检索的现状,提出了基于GeoSOT的影像云索引模型。该模型根据空间信息建立GeoSOT网格与遥感影像的对应,通过判断每个GeoSOT剖分面片对应的影像数据块是否有云,并记录剖分面片编码和判断结果,实现对遥感影像中局部云信息建立索引;在检索影像中局域云信息时,根据剖分面片编码查找云信息标识即可。同时,探讨了不同等级影像数据产品采用精确逻辑剖分和冗余逻辑剖分构建影像云索引的方法,设计了影像云索引的数据结构,分析了影像数据建立云索引的存储代价。通过仿真实验表明,对遥感影像构建基于GeoSOT剖分编码的云索引代价小,其存储量约为原数据的0.01%,提高了影像中局部云信息查询效率,为计算机自动选取高质量的影像提供了一个有效的技术途径。     

基于EMD的遥感影像数据组织模型

针对目前遥感数据组织以时间为基准、同一区域不同部门遥感数据标识不统一的现状,鉴于全球剖分网格具有多层次、全球覆盖、网格单元编码全球唯一性和对传统地图图幅的继承性等特点,介绍了基于地图分幅拓展的全球剖分模型EMD,提出以EMD剖分面片为单元、采用剖分面片编码标识并管理遥感数据及其相关资源的数据组织框架.试验分析表明,基于EMD的遥感影像数据组织可行,且基于剖分面片编码的数据检索具有较高效率.     

代表性人口空间分布数据集的精度评价——以2010年广东省为例

以人口密度差异显著的广东省为研究区,比较Worldpop、GPW v4和2种中国公里网格人口分布数据集的空间分布一致性,并以第六次全国人口普查数据为真值,按人口密度分为高、中、低3组,从误差的数值分布和空间分布两方面定量评价4种数据集的精度,最后讨论估算误差的可能来源及数据适用性。结果表明,4种网格人口数据集中Worldpop整体精度最高,且在人口密集区的精度也是最高;GPW v4在低人口密度和中人口密度区域精度略高于Worldpop,但对镇街内人口分布细节刻画不够详细;2种中国公里网格人口分布数据集精度较前两者低,主要受空间化方法和模型变量的选择所限制。Worldpop适合用于人口密度中等及人口密度高区域的精细化研究,GPW v4适合用于长时序、最小研究单元大于镇街的研究,第一种中国公里网格人口分布数据集适合用于需要考虑镇街内人口分布和空间异质性的研究,第二种中国公里网格人口分布数据集适用于需要考虑人口分布细节和空间格局变化的长时序研究。     

空间索引技术及其GIS应用综述

空间索引技术可提供高效的空间数据组织与管理方式,以支撑海量空间数据的挖掘与分析。针对当前空间索引存在的知识体系不明晰、选择难等问题,该文通过文献调查法和CiteSpace工具,依据空间划分及映射方法将空间索引划分为基于树结构、格网、空间填充曲线和地址编码的空间索引四大类,并综述其原理、空间结构、适用范围及在GIS领域的应用,最后对空间索引在数据组织、高效计算、可视化、可靠性等方面的研究进行展望。结论如下：基于树结构的空间索引最具普适性且可以处理多维度及多层次的数据,查询性能依赖于树结构的平衡性及数据的分布;基于格网的空间索引可以均匀划分空间以便于高效范围查询,却不适用于非结构化或动态数据集;基于空间填充曲线的空间索引可以在实现维度压缩的同时保持局部邻近性,但插入或删除数据可能导致整个曲线的重构难以频繁更新;基于地址编码的空间索引将语义地址信息转化为编码信息,便于高效检索,然而语义地址匹配仍存在较大误差和不确定性。研究结果可为空间数据组织和结构设计提供参考。     

基于POI大数据和可达性双重约束的城市空间结构研究

针对城市空间结构研究现状,将传统的城市空间可达性研究与大数据有机结合,在网格法基础上构建城市空间结构研究新思路.通过空间句法模型计算每个城市网格的空间可达性,应用POI大数据得到每个网格的POI密度,对可达性与POI密度进行交叉对比分析,得到基于POI大数据和可达性双重约束的城市空间结构特征类型和空间分区方案.以合肥市中心城区为例,经分析将中心城区划分为3类空间分区,进而根据每类空间的特点提出针对性的空间发展建议.该研究可为城市空间结构研究及城市空间规划布局提供方法参考和决策依据.     

基于GIS的社会统计数据空间化处理方法

社会统计数据的空间化是当前地理科学和社会科学共同研究的热点问题之一,根据社会统计数据的特点可以将其分为和值(extensive)变量型统计数据和均值(intensive)变量型统计数据两种类型.分析了这两类社会统计数据在区域拆分与合并时的特点,并尝试将网格单元面积权重内插(GCAWI)法引入社会统计数据的空间化的工作中,提出了确定网格单元大小的原则和采用图像平滑技术改进空问化结果的方法.以徐州市人均GDP数据(均值变量型统计数据)空间化为研究实例,采用网格单元面积权重内插法实现了徐州市人均GDP数据的空间化,而且运用图像平滑技术得到了比较满意的结果.

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.
