地图可视化研究

建立在计算机技术基础上的地图可视化是现代地图学的核心内容之一。文章从分析地图可视化的含义出发,提出了地图可视化研究的一个基本框架,同时简要分析了地图可视化的特点。认为地图可视化的主要研究领域有:可视化变量研究、可视化分类研究、时空数据结构研究、视觉感受与视觉效果研究、虚拟现实研究、空间认知与信息传输研究等 6个方面。最后,就北京地区地形三维可视化实践作了简单介绍。

On cartographic visualization

Cartographic visualization is one of the focuses of cartography,and is now attracting more and more attention. The paper gives the definition of cartographic visualization in the beginning,and then presents some characteristics of cartographic visualization. The diagram of cartographic visualization research is putforward in the most important part of this paper,which includes six parts. There are research on cartographic visualization variables,research on classification of cartographic visualization,research on spatial- temporal data structure and models,research on the impact of visualization and perception of visualization,research on virtual reality,research on spatial cognition and the communication of spatial information. In the end,a case study on Beijing 3D terrain is introduced.
